The standard aims to protect IoT device data, including RFID tags and medical implants. Four configurations focus on two main tasks – authenticated encryption with associated data and hashing.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology has announced a new cryptography standard that’s available for immediate use. The standard is designed to assure the protection of authenticated encryption with associated data (AEAD), which enables health systems to check the integrity of both the encrypted and unencrypted information being sent from small medical devices, sensors and electronics that create and transmit data.
Components of the standard also include tools that adjust the length of a fixed-size string of characters, or hashes, to defend networked electronic devices from cyberattacks.
