In 2023, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) announced the selection of the Ascon family of algorithms designed by Dobraunig, Eichlseder, Mendel, and Schläffer to provide efficient cryptographic solutions for resource-constrained devices. This decision emerged from a rigorous, multi-round lightweight cryptography standardization process. The Ascon family includes a suite of cryptographic primitives that provide Authenticated Encryption with Associated Data (AEAD), hash ...| csrc.nist.gov
NIST began investigating cryptography for constrained environments in 2013. After two workshops and discussions with stakeholders in industry, government, and academia, NIST initiated a process to solicit, evaluate, and standardize schemes providing...| csrc.nist.gov
