Publisher's Synopsis
NIST SP 800-71 Draft released 2 July 2018
This recommendation addresses the protection of symmetric keying material during a key establishment that uses symmetric-key cryptography for key distribution. The objective is to provide recommendations for reducing exposure to the unauthorized disclosure of the keying material and detecting its unauthorized modification, substitution, insertion or deletion. The Recommendation also addresses recovery in the event of detectable errors during the key-distribution process. Wrapping mechanisms are specified for encrypting keys, binding key control information to the keys and protecting the integrity of this information.
