Cryptographic Toolkit

Cryptographic Toolkit

The Computer Security Division's (CSD) Security Technology Group (STG) is
involved in the development, maintenance, and promotion of a number of standards
and guidance that cover a wide range of cryptographic technology. As it develops
new standards, recommendations, and guidance, STG is aiming to develop a
comprehensive Cryptographic Toolkit that will enable U.S.
Government agencies and others to select cryptographic security components and
functionality for protecting their data, communications, and operations. The
toolkit currently includes a wide variety of cryptographic algorithms and
techniques, and more will be added in the future.

Note: The Cryptographic Toolkit is a
collection of standards and guidance - not actual software implementations of
the algorithms.

Modules, please visit the Cryptographic Module
Validation Program's (CMVP) home page.
