Journal: Journal of Research of the National Institute of Standards and Technology Abstract: Strong cryptographic algorithms are essential for the protection of stored and transmitted data throughout the world. This publication discusses the development of Federal Information Processing Standards Publication (FIPS) 197, which specifies a cryptographic algorithm known as the Advanced Encrypt...

Abstract: This document gives recommendations and guidelines for enhancing trust in email. The primary audience includes enterprise email administrators, information security specialists and network managers. This guideline applies to federal IT systems and will also be useful for small or medium sized organi...

Abstract: This publication specifies the Triple Data Encryption Algorithm (TDEA), including its primary component cryptographic engine, the Data Encryption Algorithm (DEA). TDEA is intended to be used with a Special Publication (SP) 800-38-series-compliant mode of operation in a Federal Information Processing...

Journal: IEEE Security & Privacy Abstract: More than 5.4 million Personal Identity Verification (PIV) and Common Access Cards (CAC) have been deployed to US government employees and contractors.
