National Institute of Standards and Technology launches review of how it develops cryptographic standards. NIST is investigating whether the NSA meddled with one of its special publications. The review is focused on how NIST develops its cryptographic standards, NIST says. “We’re being a little more cautious, but we certainly have not stopped any of our engagements,” NIST’s deputy chief says. The deadline for public comments on the reopened random bit generator guidance Nov. 6 is Nov. 9. “A lot of it is really going to be driven on the type of feedback we receive,” he says.”]
