National Institute of Standards and Technology launches review on how it develops cryptographic standards. NIST says it will investigate its goals and objectives; principles of operation; methods for reviewing and resolving public comments. “More than anything else, this is about ensuring the trust and confidence in people so that they use crypto,” says Matt Scholl, deputy chief of NIST’s Computer Security Division. “We stand by and believe in the technical merits of what we put out,” says NIST official. “The NSA has always been intimately involved in U.S. cryptography standards,” cryptographer Bruce Schneier says.”]
