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

[Superseded by: SP 800-57 Part 3 Rev. 1 (January 2015): http://www.nist.gov/manuscript-publication-search.cfm?pub_id=917445] Special Publication 800-57 provides cryptographic key management guidance. It consists of three parts. Part 1 provides general

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

Recommendation for Applications Using Approved Hash Algorithms

Author(s)

Quynh H. Dang

[Superseded by SP 800-107 Rev. 1 (August 2012): http://www.nist.gov/manuscript-publication-search.cfm?pub_id=911479] Cryptographic hash functions that compute a fixed- length message digest from arbitrary length messages are widely used for many purposes

Secure Hash Standard (SHS)

Author(s)

National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Elaine Barker, Quynh Dang

[Superseded by FIPS 180-4 (March 2012): http://www.nist.gov/manuscript-publication-search.cfm?pub_id=910977] This standard specifies five hash algorithms that can be used to generate digests of messages. The digests are used to detect whether messages have

The Keyed-Hash Message Authentication Code (HMAC)

July 16, 2008

Author(s)

National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Quynh 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
