Hi All,
NIST has just released a proposal to revise NIST SP 800-132, Recommendation for Password-Based Key Derivation: Part 1: Storage Applications
In January 2023, NIST's Crypto Publication Review Board initiated a review of NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-132, Recommendation for Password-Based Key Derivation: Part 1: Storage Applications (December 2010).
In response to the public comments received, NIST proposes to revise SP 800-132,
• to approve an additional memory-hard password-based key derivation function and password hashing scheme, and
• to provide additional guidelines and clarifications on the use of PBKDF2.
Submit your comments on this decision proposal by May 1, 2023, to [email protected] with "Comments on SP 800-132 Decision Proposal" in the subject line.
Comments received in response to this request will be posted on the Crypto Publication Review Project site (https://csrc.nist.gov/projects/crypto-publication-review-project) after the due date. Submitters' names and affiliations (when provided) will be included, while contact information will be removed. See the project site for additional information about the review process.
