NIST has been a leader in cryptography for 50 years, developing standards and guidelines that enable secure data exchange. Their work has evolved to meet changing IT needs, from DES in the 1970s to current efforts in lightweight cryptography and quantum-resistant algorithms. NIST’s cryptographic solutions are used in commercial applications, federal information systems, and even top-secret data. The organization continues to lead public collaborations for developing modern cryptography, including standardization, testing, and validation of algorithms and implementations. NIST also promotes the use of validated cryptographic modules and provides security metrics for federal agencies.
