Learn about NIST’s encryption standards and why they matter. The National Institute of Standards and Technology is an organization aimed at helping US economic and public welfare issues by providing leadership for the nation’s measurement and standards infrastructure. Then there are the details about how the NSA proactively fights encryption online, including attending meetings of groups that create the standards for encryption, like the Internet Engineering Although most of the NSA's work on encryption is secret, some information has been published in the past, either as part of the NSA's participation in standards processes, or after an algorithm has been declassified. Below is an (incomplete) overview of NSA-developed approved algorithms.
