Announcement

This document specifies families of key derivation functions for deriving additional keys from existing cryptographic keys.

This revision specifies key derivation functions using Keccak-based message authentication codes (KMAC) in addition to key derivation functions using keyed-hash message authentication codes (HMAC) and cipher-based message authentication codes (CMAC).

NOTE:  A call for patent claims is included on page iii of this draft.  For additional information, see the Information Technology Laboratory (ITL) Patent Policy--Inclusion of Patents in ITL Publications.
