Hi. I'd like to propose a new id number of symmetric key algorithms
for Camellia that is known as RFC3657.
The WG should be aware that Camellia is patented. An announcement
related to this exists:
http://www.ntt.co.jp/news/news01e/0104/010417.html
The license (if one can speak of a license at all, the page is not
clear that it is a license agreement) do not appear to be perpetual,
and it seem to restrict implementation to be unmodified Camellia.
The IETF IPR page do not seem to contain anything related to RFC 3657,
RFC 3713, or RFC 4132 which seems to be a mistake. Unless someone can
tell me more about why this is the case, I'll send a third-party
notification shortly.
