2.  Special Publication 800-67
The newly released NIST Special Publication 800-67 Recommendation for the Triple Data Encryption Algorithm (TDEA) Block Cipher, is now available. NIST SP 800-67 specifies the Triple Data Encryption Algorithm (TDEA), including its primary component cryptographic engine, the Data Encryption Algorithm (DEA). This recommendation precisely defines the mathematical steps required to cryptographically protect data using TDEA and to subsequently process such protected data. When implemented in an SP 800-38 series-compliant mode of operation and in a FIPS 140-2 compliant cryptographic module, TDEA may be used by Federal organizations to protect sensitive unclassified data. A copy of NIST SP 800-67 can be found on the NIST Special Publications web page.

3.  Special Publication 800-38C
NIST Special Publication 800-38C Recommendation for Block Cipher Modes of Operation: the CCM Mode for Authentication and Confidentiality has been finalized. This Recommendation specifies the Counter with Cipher Block Chaining-Message Authentication Code (CCM) mode, an authenticated encryption mode of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm. Information on this special publication and the development of modes of operation is available at the modes home page (http://csrc.nist.gov/CryptoToolkit/modes/index.html).
