Dear Technical Committee,

As you may be aware, Suite B is deprecated and replace with the Commercial National Security Algorithm (CNSA) Suite. 

See:  https://www.iad.gov/iad/library/ia-guidance/ia-solutions-for-classified/algorithm-guidance/cnsa-suite-and-quantum-computing-faq.cfm

The basic information for this was released in July, 2015 (see CNSS Advisory Memorandum, Information Assurance 02-15, July 2015 at https://www.cnss.gov/CNSS/issuances/Memoranda.cfm)

As such, several of the Key Lengths mentioned in your Suite B profile are prohibited for National Security Systems(see page 3 of the FAQ PDF). 

I am writing you to determine when a CNSA profile for KMIP 1.2 will be publicly available.

I look forward to your response,

Robert Wagner
