The initial public draft of NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-227,
*Recommendations
for Key-Encapsulation Mechanisms
<https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fcsrc.nist.gov%2Fpubs%2Fsp%2F800%2F227%2Fipd/1/010001943d1c9678-b32b0c0b-3f47-4373-b4ba-7cc20f849525-000000/rAMROuvjdAzNjb0pPVFAeFgix1YhMHSeth8omH5IeNE=386>*,
is now available for public comment.

NIST recently published Federal Information Process Standard (FIPS)
203, *Module-Lattice-Based
Key-Encapsulation Mechanism Standard
<https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fcsrc.nist.gov%2Fpubs%2Ffips%2F203%2Ffinal/1/010001943d1c9678-b32b0c0b-3f47-4373-b4ba-7cc20f849525-000000/2dSqDG2gYWSZBah9BodQdynVrtxZt2DVR5xlKVl8qmI=386>*,
to update its cryptographic standards with an algorithm designed to provide
protection from quantum attacks. In addition, NIST will select one or two
additional quantum-resistant key-encapsulation mechanisms (KEMs) for
standardization. To provide guidance on using KEMs, NIST is introducing SP
800-227, *Recommendations for Key-Encapsulation Mechanisms*. This draft
document describes the basic definitions, properties, and applications of
KEMs. It also provides recommendations for implementing and using KEMs in a
secure manner.

The public comment period is open through *March 7, 2025*. See the *publication

for
a copy of the draft and instructions for submitting comments.

NIST will also hold a *virtual Workshop on Guidance for KEMs
<https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fcsrc.nist.gov%2FEvents%2F2025%2Fworkshop-on-guidance-for-kems/1/010001943d1c9678-b32b0c0b-3f47-4373-b4ba-7cc20f849525-000000/efGeHHKAqCdLgoQXCV_d_M8F8jg1UOGh8dDe-cvzCJs=386>*
on
February 25-26, 2025, to gather additional feedback on SP 800-227.
