Submissions may also be sent by email
to: lightweight-crypto@nist.gov. Note
that for email submissions, some of the
supporting documentation requires a
signature and must be physically mailed
to the above address. See https://
csrc.nist.gov/Projects/LightweightCryptography for complete submission
instructions.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
general information, send email to
lightweight-crypto@nist.gov. For
questions related to a specific
submission package, contact Dr. Kerry
McKay, National Institute of Standards
and Technology, 100 Bureau Drive, Mail
Stop 8930, Gaithersburg, MD 20899–
8930, email: kerry.mckay@nist.gov, or
by telephone: (301) 975–4969.
A public email list has been set up for
announcements, as well as a forum to
discuss the standardization effort being
initiated by NIST. For directions on how
to subscribe, please visit https://

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

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/
