Announcing a Meeting of the Information Security and Privacy Advisory Board, 7818 [2011-3122]

Download as PDF 7818 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 29 / Friday, February 11, 2011 / Notices adding two additional secure hash algorithms, SHA–512/224 and SHA– 512/256, to the standard, and removing a restriction that padding must be done before hash computation begins, which was required in FIPS 180–3. NIST proposes adding SHA–512/224 and SHA–512/256 to Draft FIPS 180–4 because they may be more efficient alternatives to SHA–256 on platforms that are optimized for 64-bit operations. Removing the restriction on the padding operation in the secure hash algorithms will potentially create more flexibility and efficiency in implementing the secure hash algorithms in many computer network applications. Examples of the implementation of the secure hash algorithms SHA–1, SHA– 224, SHA–256, SHA–384, SHA–512, SHA–512/224 and SHA–512/256, can be found at https://www.nist.gov/ CryptoToolkitExamples. If approved by the Secretary of Commerce, Draft FIPS 180–4 will supersede FIPS 180–3. Prior to the approval of this proposed standard by the Secretary of Commerce, it is essential that consideration be given to the needs and views of the public, users, the information technology industry, and Federal, State, and local government organizations. The purpose of this notice is to solicit such views. Interested parties may view or download the proposed standard at https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/ drafts.html. Authority: NIST’s activities to develop computer security standards to protect Federal sensitive (unclassified) systems are undertaken pursuant to specific responsibilities assigned to NIST in Section 5131 of the Information Technology Management Reform Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–106), the Computer Security Act of 1987 (Pub. L. 100–235), and Appendix III to Office of Management and Budget Circular A– 130. Dated: February 7, 2011. Charles H.
