Hash Functions
Approved Algorithms   |  SHA-3 Derived Functions  |  Security Strengths  |  Testing Implementations Approved Algorithms A hash algorithm is used to map a message of arbitrary length to a fixed-length message digest. Approved hash algorithms for generating a condensed representation of a message (message digest) are specified in two Federal Information Processing Standards: FIPS 180-4, Secure Hash Standard and FIPS 202, SHA-3 Standard: Permutation-Based Hash and Extendable-Output Functions....
Multi-Party Threshold Cryptography MPTC
The multi-party paradigm of threshold cryptography enables threshold schemes, which apply principles of secure multiparty computation (MPC) to achieve protocols that enable a secure distribution of trust in the operation of cryptographic primitives. Threshold schemes can be applied to NIST standardized primitives/schemes, and beyond. The technical scope of the MPTC-project includes threshold schemes (for signatures, public-key encryption/decryption, ciphers, hashing, fully-homomorphic encryption...
National Software Reference Library NSRL
[Redirect to: https://www.nist.gov/itl/ssd/software-quality-group/national-software-reference-library-nsrl] The National Software Reference Library (NSRL) is designed to collect software from various sources and incorporate file profiles computed from this software into a Reference Data Set (RDS) of information. The RDS can be used by law enforcement, government, and industry organizations to review files on a computer by matching file profiles in the RDS. This will help alleviate much of the...
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. Since being published in 2020, NIST has received feedback in regards to the restriction...
