NIST requests nominations of candidate algorithms for the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).

NIST is planning to develop a Federal Information Processing Standard for Public-Key Based Cryptographic Key Agreement and Exchange. This notice solicits comments regarding techniques for consideration specifically including...

NIST initiates development of a FIPS for the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). This announces draft minimum algorithm requirements, draft submission requirements, and draft evaluation criteria. An initial workshop is...

A revision of Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 180, Secure Hash Standard (SHS), is being proposed. This proposed revision corrects a technical flaw that made the standard less secure than had been thought.

This notice announces that Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 46-1, Data Encryption Standard, has been revised and that the Data Encryption Algorithm specified by the standard has been reaffirmed for five years.

This notice announces the review of FIPS 46-1, Data Encryption Standard (DES), inviting comments on potential costs and benefits of reaffirmation, withdrawal, or revision.

This Federal Register Notice was NBS/NIST's initial solicitation for developing a public standard for encryption. The end result of this multi-year effort was the issuance of the Data Encryption Standard (DES) in 1977 as FIPS...

This FRN redesignated fourteen Federal Telecomm Standards (FED-STD) as FIPS, including FED-STDs 1026, 1027, and 1028, which became FIPS 139, 140, and 141, respectively.
