SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The deployment of small computing devices, such as RFID tags, industrial controllers, sensor nodes and smart cards, is becoming increasingly common. The shift in focus from desktop computers to small devices brings a wide range of new security and privacy concerns. In many conventional cryptographic standards, the tradeoff between security, performance and resource requirements was optimized for desktop and server environments, and this makes the standards difficult or impossible to implement in resource-constrained devices. Therefore, when current NISTapproved algorithms can be engineered to fit within the limited resources of constrained environments, their performance may not be acceptable. In recent years, there has been increased demand for cryptographic standards that are tailored for constrained devices. NIST has decided to create a portfolio of lightweight cryptographic algorithms, designed for limited use in applications and environments where cryptographic operations are performed by constrained devices that are unable to use existing NIST standards. Previously, NIST solicited public comment on draft minimum acceptability requirements, submission requirements, and evaluation criteria for candidate algorithms (83 FR 22251, May VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:51 Aug 24, 2018 Jkt 244001 14, 2018). The comments received are posted at https://csrc.nist.gov/Projects/ Lightweight-Cryptography, along with a summary of the changes made as a result of these comments. The purpose of this notice is to announce that nominations for lightweight candidate algorithms may now be submitted, up until the final deadline of February 25, 2019. Complete instructions on how to submit a candidate package, including the minimal acceptability requirements, are posted at https://csrc.nist.gov/Projects/ Lightweight-Cryptography.
