Government Use of Standards for Security and Conformance Requirements for Cryptographic Algorithm and Cryptographic Module Testing and Validation Programs
Document Number: 2015-19743
Type: Notice
Date: 2015-08-12
Agency: Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
NIST is seeking public comment on the potential use of certain International Organization for Standardization/International Electrotechnical Commission (ISO/IEC) standards for cryptographic algorithm and cryptographic module testing, conformance, and validation activities, currently specified by Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2. The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) directs federal agencies to adopt voluntary consensus standards wherever possible. The responses to this request for information will be used to plan possible changes to the FIPS or in a decision to use all or part of the ISO/IEC standards for testing, conformance and validation of cryptographic algorithms and modules.
External RNA Controls Consortium-Call for Participation and Contributions to a Sequence Library
Document Number: 2015-19742
Type: Notice
Date: 2015-08-12
Agency: Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
NIST is reconvening the External RNA Controls Consortium (ERCC), a public, private, and academic research collaboration to develop external RNA controls for gene expression assays (71 FR 10012 and NIST Standard Reference Material 2374, available at https:// www.nist.gov/mml/bbd/srm-2374.cfm). ERCC products are being extended to accommodate recently emerged applications. This is a call for (1) participation in ERCC activities and (2) collection of nucleic acid sequences to extend the ERCC library. The ERCC library is a tool for generating RNA controls; any party may disseminate such controls. Intellectual property rights may be maintained on submitted sequences, but submitted sequences must be declared to be free for use as RNA controls.
Announcing Approval of Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 202, SHA-3 Standard: Permutation-Based Hash and Extendable-Output Functions, and Revision of the Applicability Clause of FIPS 180-4, Secure Hash Standard
Document Number: 2015-19181
Type: Notice
Date: 2015-08-05
Agency: Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
This notice announces the Secretary of Commerce's approval of Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 202, SHA-3 Standard: Permutation-Based Hash and Extendable-Output Functions, and a revision of the Applicability Clause of FIPS 180-4, Secure Hash Standard. FIPS 202 specifies the SHA-3 family of hash functions, as well as mechanisms for other cryptographic functions to be specified in the future. The revision to the Applicability Clause of FIPS 180-4 approves the use of hash functions specified in either FIPS 180-4 or FIPS 202 when a secure hash function is required for the protection of sensitive, unclassified information in Federal applications, including as a component within other cryptographic algorithms and protocols.
