Feedback Sought on Development Process
By Eric Chabrow
Because of concerns of possible National Security Agency meddling with its cryptographic standards, the National Institute of Standards and Technology has issued a draft report proposing revisions in how it develops cryptographic standards.
In November, NIST suspended one of its special publications regarding cryptographic standards after reports surfaced that the NSA may have corrupted NIST cryptography guidance dealing with generation of random bits (see NIST to Review Crypto Guidance Methods).
Now, NIST is seeking public comment on a draft document that describes a new method for how the agency develops those cryptographic standards. The draft of Interagency Report 7977, “NIST Cryptographic Standards and Guidelines Development Process,” outlines the proposed principles, processes and procedures of NIST’s cryptographic standards efforts.
Donna Dodson, chief of NIST’s Computer Security Division, says the agency is reviewing its existing standards and guidelines to create a new approach to ensure they adhere to the principles laid out in IR 7977. “If any issues are found, they will be addressed as quickly as possible,” Dodson says.
Actually, I want to thank you for this site because I have just tried it and I am really grateful for this recommendation, which helped me learn more about the cryptocurrency.
Hi, where can I find more information about earning cryptocurrency?
You are in luck, because now there are many solutions for those who want to start trading cryptocurrencies, and I think that Xbiti club is one of them. Of course, it is worth remembering that cryptocurrency trading is risky, but I still recommend this automated trading platform because it analyzes the markets on its own and offers the best investment options, which helps me to trade successfully.
