NIST has released a revised guideline for using cryptographic standards in the federal government, focusing on cryptographic mechanisms. The publication, NIST SP 800-175B Revision 1, provides recommendations for protecting sensitive, unclassified digitized information using cryptography and NIST’s cryptographic standards. It discusses cryptographic methods and services while referring to the recently published strategy for deprecating the Triple Data Encryption Algorithm (TDEA). The guideline aims to ensure the security and integrity of sensitive information in various federal government applications, maintaining confidentiality, authenticity, and integrity of data.
