Status Report on the Third Round of the NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standardization Process

September 29, 2022
Author(s)
Gorjan Alagic, Daniel Apon, David Cooper, Quynh Dang, Thinh Dang, John M. Kelsey, Jacob Lichtinger, Yi-Kai Liu, Carl A. Miller, Dustin Moody, Rene Peralta, Ray Perlner, Angela Robinson, Daniel Smith-Tone
The National Institute of Standards and Technology is in the process of selecting public-key cryptographic algorithms through a public, competition-like process. The new public-key cryptography standards will specify additional digital signature, public

Recommendation for Stateful Hash-Based Signature Schemes

October 29, 2020
Author(s)
David Cooper, Daniel Apon, Quynh H. Dang, Michael S. Davidson, Morris Dworkin, Carl Miller
This recommendation specifies two algorithms that can be used to generate a digital signature, both of which are stateful hash-based signature schemes: the Leighton-Micali Signature (LMS) system and the eXtended Merkle Signature Scheme (XMSS), along with

Secure Hash Standard

August 4, 2015
Author(s)
Quynh H. Dang
This standard specifies hash algorithms that can be used to generate digests of messages. The digests are used to detect whether messages have been changed since the digests were generated. The Applicability Clause of this standard was revised to

Recommendation for Applications Using Approved Hash Algorithms

August 24, 2012
Author(s)
Quynh H. Dang
Hash functions that compute a fixed-length message digest from arbitrary length messages are widely used for many purposes in information security. This document provides security guidelines for achieving the required or desired security strengths when

Recommendation for Existing Application-Specific Key Derivation Functions

December 23, 2011
Author(s)
Quynh H. Dang
Cryptographic keys are vital to the security of internet security applications and protocols. Many widely-used internet security protocols have their own application-specific Key Derivation Functions (KDFs) that are used to generate the cryptographic keys

Encryption Basics

May 2, 2011
Author(s)
Kevin M. Stine, Quynh H. Dang
Healthcare and health information technology professionals are entrusted with patient data which, because of its personal nature, requires protection to ensure its confidentiality. To provide this protection, these professionals frequently look to commonly

Randomized Hashing for Digital Signatures

February 25, 2009
Author(s)
Quynh H. Dang
NIST-approved digital signature algorithms require the use of an approved cryptographic hash function in the generation and verification of signatures. Approved cryptographic hash functions and digital signature algorithms can be found in FIPS 180-3

The Keyed-Hash Message Authentication Code (HMAC)

July 16, 2008
Author(s)
Quynh H. Dang
This Standard describes a keyed-hash message authentication code (HMAC), a mechanism for message authentication using cryptographic hash functions. HMAC can be used with any iterative Approved cryptographic hash function, in combination with a shared
