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.
