Report on the Block Cipher Modes of Operation in the NIST SP 800-38 Series

Published

Author(s)

Nicky Mouha, Morris J. Dworkin

Abstract

This report focuses on the NIST-recommended block cipher modes of operation specified in NIST Special Publications (SP) 800-38A through 800-38F. The goal is to provide a concise survey of relevant research results about the algorithms and their implementations. Based on these findings, the report concludes with a set of recommendations to improve the corresponding standards.
