Abstract

This document describes the principles, processes and procedures that drive cryptographic standards and guidelines development efforts at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. This document reflects public comments received on two earlier versions., and will serve as the basis to guide NIST's future cryptographic standards and guidelines development efforts. It will be reviewed and updated every five years to help ensure that NIST fulfills its role and responsibilities for producing robust, effective cryptographic standards and guidelines.
