Automotive Cybersecurity Community of Interest (COI)
The automotive industry is facing significant challenges from increased cybersecurity risk and adoption of AI and opportunities from rapid technological innovations. NIST is setting up this community of interest (COI) to allow the industry, academia, and government to discuss, comment, and provide input on the potential work that NIST is doing which will affect the automotive industry. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Cryptography Cryptographic agility Migration to...
Multi-Party Threshold Cryptography MPTC
The multi-party paradigm of threshold cryptography enables threshold schemes, for a secure distribution of trust in the operation of cryptographic primitives. 2024: NIST IR 8214B (on Threshold EdDSA) and NIST IR 8214C (with the Threshold Call) are being revised. Threshold Call: A 2nd public draft (2pd) of IR 8214C will be published, some time after gauging opinions in the MPTC-forum about planned changes compared to the initial public draft (ipd). Threshold EdDSA: The final version of IR...

Post-Quantum Cryptography: Digital Signature Schemes
NIST announced that the PQC standardization process is continuing with a fourth round, with the following KEMs still under consideration: BIKE, Classic McEliece, HQC, and SIKE. However, there are no remaining digital signature candidates under consideration. As such, NIST posted a call for additional digital signature proposals to be considered in the PQC standardization process. The call for submissions closed June 1, 2023. On July 17, 2023, NIST announced additional Digital Signature...
Stateful Hash-Based Signatures HBS
In Special Publication 800-208, Recommendation for Stateful Hash-Based Signature Schemes, NIST approves two schemes for stateful hash-based signatures (HBS) as part of the post-quantum cryptography development effort.  The two schemes were developed through the Internet Research Task Force (IRTF): 1) XMSS, specified in Request for Comments (RFC) 8391 in May 2018, and 2) LMS, in RFC 8554 in April 2019. Background HBS schemes were the topic for a session of talks during the first public workshop...
