[Pfif] [cifs-protocol] Clarify AEAD behaviour for GSSAPIwith AES

[Hongwei Sun]

Stefan,

   We have updated the example for GSS_WrapEx with AES128-CTS-HMAC-SHA1-96 in MS-KILE as per your suggestion.  I attached the updated section 4.3 of MS-KILE for your review.  Please also see the inline comment.

   We really appreciate your help for improving our Open Protocol Documentation.

We explicitly documented in the latest update that  "right rotation by (EC+RRC) count" should be performed.

We fixed the inconsistency between text and diagram.

I already responded to you regarding these questions in a separate mail on 11/24/08.
