NIST has released a draft revision of Special Publication (SP) 800-57 Part 2, which provides guidance on key management best practices for organizations using cryptography to protect their information. The document outlines key management concepts that should be included in policy statements and planning documents, and identifies important information that needs to be documented for federal applications of cryptography.
The public is invited to provide comments on the draft revision until May 31, 2018. This feedback will help NIST refine the document before finalizing it. The publication is intended to assist organizations in developing effective key management policies and practices to ensure the security of their cryptographic systems.
