NIST's Crypto Publication Review Board is proposing to withdraw Special Publications 800-102, "Recommendation for Digital Signature Timeliness." Submit public comments through Monday, May 12, 2025.
NIST's Crypto Publication Review Board has requested initial public comments on NIST Special Publication 800-102, Recommendation for Digital Signature Timeliness. The comment period is open through January 14, 2025.
NIST publishes NIST Internal Report (IR) 8528, Status Report on the First Round of the Additional Digital Signature Schemes for the NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standardization Process.
NIST requests comments on the initial public drafts of three Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) - FIPS 203, 204 and 205. The deadline to submit comments is November 22, 2023.
Today, NIST is publishing a revised Digital Signature Standard (FIPS 186-5) and Recommendations for Discrete Logarithm-based Cryptography: Elliptic Curve Domain Parameters (NIST SP 800-186).
NIST is currently reviewing Special Publication (SP) 800-106, "Randomized Hashing for Digitial Signatures," (2009) and is requesting public feedback on all aspects of the publication by March 16, 2022.
NIST has posted a draft Cybersecurity White Paper, "Getting Ready for Post-Quantum Cryptography: Explore Challenges Associated with Adoption and Use of Post-Quantum Cryptographic Algorithms." The public comment period ends June 30, 2020.
NIST has published "Mitigating the Risk of Software Vulnerabilities by Adopting a Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF)," a new NIST Cybersecurity White Paper.
A draft NIST Cybersecurity White Paper, "A Taxonomic Approach to Understanding Emerging Blockchain Identity Management Systems," is available for public comment until August 9, 2019.
A draft white paper, "Mitigating the Risk of Software Vulnerabilities by Adopting a Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF)," is available for public comment until August 5, 2019.
NIST currently intends to approve both LMS and XMSS stateful hash-based signature schemes, and is seeking public comments on that proposed action by April 1, 2019.
(New comments due date: February 18, 2019) NIST releases the second draft of SP 800-57 Part 2 Revision 1, Recommendation for Key Management: Best Practices for Key Management Organizations. Public comments are due by February 18, 2019.
NIST has published "Blockchain Technology Overview," NIST Internal Report (NISTIR) 8202. This is a high-level technical publication that examines the history, scope, and characteristics of this emerging technology which has enabled the development of numerous cryptocurrency systems.
NIST's Computer Security Division is seeking input on the development of standards for stateful hash-based signatures, including XMSS (see IETF RFC 8391).
