NIST Special Publication 800-227, Recommendations for Key-Encapsulation Mechanisms

September 18, 2025
Author(s)
Gorjan Alagic, Elaine Barker, Lidong Chen, Dustin Moody, Angela Robinson, Hamilton Silberg, Noah Waller
A key-encapsulation mechanism (KEM) is a set of algorithms that can be used by two parties under certain conditions to securely establish a shared secret key over a public channel. A shared secret key that is established using a KEM can then be used with

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

March 11, 2025
Author(s)
Gorjan Alagic, Maxime Bros, Pierre Ciadoux, David Cooper, Quynh Dang, Thinh Dang, John Kelsey, Jacob Lichtinger, Yi-Kai Liu, Carl Miller, Dustin Moody, Rene Peralta, Ray Perlner, Angela Robinson, Hamilton Silberg, Daniel Smith-Tone, Noah Waller
The National Institute of Standards and Technology is selecting public-key cryptographic algorithms through a public, competition-like process. The new public-key cryptography standards will specify additional digital signatures, public-key encryption, and

Workshop on Enhancing Security of Devices and Components Across the Supply Chain

February 18, 2025
Author(s)
Sanjay Rekhi, David Kuhn, Kim Schaffer, Murugiah Souppaya, Noah Waller, Nelson Hastings, Michael Ogata, William Barker
NIST hosted an in-person, all-day workshop on February 27, 2024, to discuss existing and emerging cybersecurity threats and mitigation techniques for semiconductors throughout their life cycle. The workshop obtained valuable feedback from industry

Status Report on the First Round of the Additional Digital Signature Schemes for the NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography Standardization Process

October 24, 2024
Author(s)
Gorjan Alagic, Maxime Bros, Pierre Ciadoux, David Cooper, Quynh Dang, Thinh Dang, John M. Kelsey, Jacob Lichtinger, Carl A. Miller, Dustin Moody, Rene Peralta, Ray Perlner, Angela Robinson, Hamilton Silberg, Daniel Smith-Tone, Noah Waller, Yi-Kai Liu
The National Institute of Standards and Technology is in the process of evaluating public-key digital signature algorithms through a public competition-like process for potential standardization. Any signature scheme eventually selected would augment

Status Report on the Final Round of the NIST Lightweight Cryptography Standardization Process

June 16, 2023
Author(s)
Meltem Sonmez Turan, Kerry McKay, Donghoon Chang, Jinkeon Kang, Noah Waller, John M. Kelsey, Lawrence E. Bassham, Deukjo Hong
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) initiated a public standardization process to select one or more Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data (AEAD) and hashing schemes suitable for constrained environments. In February 2019, 57
