# Major Differences Between the Various HTTP ECE Versions | |
## aes128gcm | |
* Most current version as of 2016/11 | |
* `salt`, `rs`, and `key_id` now all contained as preamble for the encrypted content. | |
* Sender's public DH key value is sent as the `dh` parameter of the `Crypto-Key` header | |
* The `Encryption` header is no longer required. | |
* The context string `WebPush: info\x00` + Receiver's raw public key + Sender's raw public key | |
* `keyinfo` string set to `Content-Encoding: aes128gcm\x00` | |
* `nonceinfo` string set to `Content-Encoding: nonce\x00` | |
## aesgcm | |
* `salt` contained as 'salt' parameter of the `Encryption` header | |
* `key_id` contained as `keyid` parameter of the `Crypto-Key` header | |
* Sender's public DH key value is sent as the `dh` parameter of the `Crypto-Key` header | |
* The context string is: `P-256\x00\x00\x41` + Receiver's raw public key + `\x00\x41` + Sender's raw public key | |
* `keyinfo` string set to `Content-Encoding: aesgcm\x00` + context_string | |
* `nonceinfo` string set to `Content-Encoding: nonce` + context_string | |
## aesgcm128 | |
* Most obsolete version | |
* `salt` contained as 'salt' parameter of the `Encryption` header | |
* `key_id` contained as `keyid` parameter of the `Encryption-Key` header | |
* Sender's public DH key value is sent as the `dh` parameter of the `Encryption-Key` header | |
* The context string is: `P-256\x00\x00\x41` + Receiver's raw public key + `\x00\x41` + Sender's raw public key | |
* `keyinfo` string set to `Content-Encoding: aesgcm128` | |
* `nonceinfo` string set to `Content-Encoding: nonce` | |
