IEEE Draft Standard for Cryptographic Protection of Data on Block-Oriented Storage Devices
Scope
This standard specifies the XEX (XOR Encrypt XOR) Tweakable Block Ciphertext Stealing (XTS) cryptographic mode of operation for the Advanced Encryption Standard modes (AES) block cipher for block-oriented storage devices.
Purpose
The purpose of this standard is to define the XTS cryptographic mode while maintaining backward compatibility with existing implementations that are compliant with IEEE Std 1619(TM)-2007.
