NIST Updates Cryptography Manual

Rob Thormeyer writes on GCN.com:

The National Institute of Standards and Technology released a revised cryptography manual that gives federal cybersecurity officials guidance on how to encrypt and protect sensitive data.

NIST issued the revised Special Publication 800-21-1 [.pdf] — first released in 1999 — to help government organizations as they comply with the Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002, which requires agencies, among other things, to certify and accredit their IT systems.
