<t>
   This memo defines the NULL encryption algorithm and its use with the
   IPsec Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP).  NULL does nothing to
   alter plaintext data.  In fact, NULL, by itself, does nothing.  NULL
   provides the means for ESP to provide authentication and integrity
   without confidentiality.

<t>
   Further information on the other components necessary for ESP
   implementations is provided by  and .
