[Ach] NIST review of cryptographic standards

[Maarten Van Horenbeeck]

Hi everyone,

I checked the archive, but did not see this mentioned already. ENISA
published a set of recommendations last week:

http://www.enisa.europa.eu/activities/identity-and-trust/library/deliverables/algorithms-key-sizes-and-parameters-report

It's an interesting overview. I did hear some surprise about the cipher
selections.

E.g. it recommends Rabbit as a stream cipher, instead of Salsa20, which is
pretty popular (e.g.
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-josefsson-salsa20-tls-02). Both were part
of the eSTREAM portfolio recommendation for software implementations.

Cheers,
Maarten
