  • 1.  NIST Announcement of Proposal to Revise Special Publication 800-38A

    Posted Mar 24, 2022 09:28:00 AM
    Hi All,

    In May 2021, NIST initiated a review process for several publications, including the Special Publication (SP) 800-38A, Recommendation for Block Cipher Modes of Operation: Methods and Techniques, and its addendum, Three Variants of Ciphertext Stealing for CBC Mode.

    In response to the public comments received, NIST proposes to revise SP 800-38A to:

    1. change the technical content as described in the FUll Announcement referenced below, and
    2. convert (i.e., merge) SP 800-38A Addendum into the revised SP 800-38A.

    Public comments on this proposal may be submitted to [email protected] by April 25, 2022. Please use "Comments on SP 800-38A Decision Proposal" in the subject.
