["Ms. Elaine Barker" <ebarker@nist.gov>]

Could you please send out the following to your email lists? Thanks.

NIST announces the completion of NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-133, Recommendation for Cryptographic Key Generation. This Recommendation discusses the generation of the keys to be used with NIST-approved cryptographic algorithms. The keys are either generated using mathematical processing on the output of approved Random Bit Generators, or generated based upon keys that are generated in this fashion. The document is available at http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/PubsSPs.html.
