We want a process that results in standards and guidelines that can be used to secure information systems worldwide.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The process hinges on nine principles, including transparency, balance, integrity \u2014\u00a0that of NIST and the standards themselves \u2014\u00a0technical merit, usability and global acceptability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NIST spokesperson Jennifer Huergo noted the &#8220;&#8216;global acceptability&#8217; principle was added to this final draft in response to public comments and reflects the global nature of today&#8217;s commerce.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The guidelines also urge researchers to focus on non-proprietary solutions that &#8220;are unencumbered by royalty-bearing patented technologies.&#8221; However, the document notes that NIST &#8220;may select algorithms with associated patents if the technical benefits outweigh the potential costs.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the guidelines in place, NIST will begin working with stakeholders \u2014\u00a0including federal agencies, academics and private sector researchers and companies \u2014\u00a0to develop the standards by which government agencies will have to abide. As is generally the case, private industry is also expected to rely on these standards, though on a voluntary basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Cryptographic standards and guidelines for the protection of federal information systems have always been a key component&#8221; of NIST&#8217;s Computer Security Division, according to the document. &#8220;They must be robust and have the confidence of the cryptographic community in order to be widely adopted and effective at securing information systems worldwide.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the debate over strong encryption and backdoors continues \u2014\u00a0despite the FBI dropping its high-profile case against Apple \u2014\u00a0NIST researchers acknowledged the &#8220;possibility for tension&#8221; between the standards and law enforcement interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The document cites this as a potential conflict, though maintains that NIST is an independent body and &#8220;remains committed to strong cryptography due to its vital role in protecting information and information systems.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Researchers acknowledge this might put them at odds with law enforcement but stood by the need to protect sensitive
