Announcement
NIST IR 8459 is currently being prepared for final publication. The report reviews the NIST Special Publication 800-38 series, including the limitations of the block cipher modes specified in those recommendations.
Although NIST is not requesting formal public comments, NIST IR 8459 is intended to be a reference for discussion during the upcoming Third Workshop on Block Cipher Modes of Operation, October 3-4, 2023.
Questions and comments about the report may be sent to cryptopubreviewboard@nist.gov.
This report focuses on the NIST-recommended block cipher modes of operation specified in NIST Special Publications (SP) 800-38A through 800-38F. The goal is to provide a concise survey of relevant research results about the algorithms and their implementations. Based on these findings, the report concludes with a set of recommendations to improve the corresponding standards.
