NIST announces the release of draft Special Publication 800-106, Randomized Hashing Digital Signatures.
This Recommendation provides a technique to randomize the input messages to
hash functions prior to the generation of digital signatures to strengthen
security of the digital signatures. Please submit comments to quynh.dang@nist.gov with "Comments
on Draft 800-106" in the subject line. The comment period closes on
September 17, 2007.

NIST announces the release of draft Special Publication 800-107, Recommendation for Using Approved Hash Algorithms
This Recommendation provides guidance on using the Approved hash algorithms in
digital signatures applications, Keyed-hash Message Authentication Codes
(HMACs), key derivation functions (KDFs) and random number generators. Please
submit comments to quynh.dang@nist.gov
with "Comments on Draft 800-107" in the subject line. The comment
period closes on September 17, 2007.

NIST announces the release of D raft Federal Information
Processing Standard (FIPS) 198-1 Publication, The Keyed-Hash Message Authentication Code (HMAC). The draft
FIPS 198-1 is the proposed revision of FIPS 198. The draft specifies a
keyed-hash message authentication code, a mechanism for message authentication
using cryptographic hash functions and shared secret keys. Comments will be
accepted through September 10, 2007. Comments should be forwarded to the
Computer Security Division, Information Technology Laboratory at NIST or
submitted via email to proposed198-1@nist.gov
with "Comments on Draft 198-1" in the subject line. Click here to

Federal Register Notice for Draft FIPS
PUB 198-1.

NIST announces the release of Draft Federal
Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 180-3 Publication, Secure Hash Standard (SHS). The draft FIPS
180-3 is the proposed revision of FIPS 180-2. The draft specifies five secure
hash algorithms (SHAs) called SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384 and SHA-512
which are used to condense input messages to fixed-length messages, called
message digests. These algorithms produce 160, 256, 384, and 512-bit message
digests, respectively. Comments will be accepted through September 10, 2007. Comments
should be forwarded to the Computer Security Division, Information Technology
Laboratory at NIST or submitted via email to Proposed180-3@nist.gov
with "Comments on Draft 180-3" in the subject line. Click here to
