[STDS-802-16] Encrypted TEK length could be 16 bytes for AES



For TEK encryption using AES-128, the plaintext TEK is 128-bits length, and the encrypted TEK is also 128-bits length as stated in section 7.5.2.3. So, in order to send the encrypted TEK in Key Reply messages, we need its TLV to be able to carry 16-bytes value. However it is still stated, in section 11.9.3, that encrypted TEK length is 8-bytes fixed.

Should the length field in section 11.9.3 be variable to accomodate up to 16 bytes AES encrypted TEK?
