Overview

Project Title

Revise Cryptographic Algorithm BB

Approval

Approved

Document Number

352.0-B

Charter

1.02 Security Working Group

Document Type

Blue

Description of Document

Revise the Cryptographic Algorithms BB to add post-quantum algorithms per the international post-quantum selection processes (NIST, ISO), specifically KEM and signatures. This will provide a basis for the Triple KEM-based asymmetric key exchange project for SDLS.

Applicable Patents

There are no patent issues for this technology that are known by the CCSDS community

Patent Comments

There are patents related to FIPS-203 but those patents have been bought out by NIST enabling free usage of the technology.

Survey of Similar Standards
Documents or Projects
Undertaken in Other Bodies
and elsewhere in CCSDS

NIST is publishing FIPS-203 document which documents the post-quantum algorithms which will be captured in the BB revision. Classic McEliece and FrodoKEM will be standardized as ISO 18033-2.
