NIST Special Publication 800-38F

["Lockhart, Robert" <Robert.Lockhart@thalesesec.com>]

I took a quick glance and GCM and CCM are in fact only mentioned in the Appendix B as other authenticating modes of operation.  The major difference being that GCM & CCM perform authentication on the encrypted value not the clear text value.

This will teach me to re-read the documents before bringing them up.
