Security Management White Papers

Federal Government Key Management for Sensitive Unclassified Information

Overview Electronic Commerce needs well-established cryptographic schemes that can provide such services as data integrity and confidentiality. Symmetric encryption schemes such as Triple DES, as defined in FIPS 46-3, and the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), which is currently under development, make an attractive choice for the provision of these services. Systems using symmetric techniques are efficient, and their security requirements are well understood. This white paper is intended to serve as the framework document for the development of standards and guidelines for the management of keys for Federal Government sensitive, unclassified applications.
