NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-56A, Recommendation for Pair-Wise
Key stablishment Schemes Using Discrete Logarithm Cryptography, is
now available . This document specifies key establishment schemes
based on standards developed by the Accredited Standards Committee

2. DRAFT FIPS 186-3:
Draft FIPS 186-3 is the proposed revision of FIPS 186-2. The draft
defines methods for digital signature generation that can be used
for the protection of messages, and for the verification and
validation of those digital signatures. Three techniques are allowed:
DSA, RSA and ECDSA. This draft includes requirements for obtaining
the assurances necessary for valid digital signatures. Methods for
obtaining these assurances are provided in Draft NIST Special
Publication 800-89, Recommendation for Obtaining Assurances for
Digital Signature Applications. Please submit comments to
ebarker@nist.gov with "Comments on Draft 186-3" in the subject line.
The comment period closes on June 12, 2006.

3. DRAFT Special Publication 800-89
Entities participating in the generation or verification of digital
signatures depend on the authenticity of the process. This
Recommendation specifies methods for obtaining the assurances
necessary for valid digital signatures: assurance of domain
parameter validity, assurance of public key validity, assurances
that the key pair owner possesses the private key, and assurance of
the identity of the key pair owner. Please submit comments to
ebarker@nist.gov with "Comments on SP 800-89" in the subject line.
The comment period closes on April 28, 2006.
