NIST Releases Crypto Algorithm Document

If you're interested in cryptographic algorithms, you might want to take a look at the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) Special Publication 800-78-1, Cryptographic Algorithms and Key Sizes for Personal Identity Verification. The recently released document has been modified to enhance interoperability, simplify the development of relying party applications, and enhance alignment with the National Security Agency’s Suite B Cryptography. In addition, a new cryptographic migration timeline has been developed based on advances in cryptoanalysis of algorithms as well as operational deployment considerations.
