The Key Management Guideline is under development and has been divided into 
three parts. Part 1 will contain General Guidance; a draft of this part is 
available at http://www.nist.gov/kms. NIST welcomes comments to be
submitted from the public at any time, but would prefer that comments on 
this part be submitted by August 15, 2002. Please submit these comments to 
GuidelineComments at nist.gov. The reader should be aware that the content of 
this document is not stable and may change during the continuing 
development process.

Part 2 will provide guidance for system and application owners for use in 
identifying appropriate organizational key management infrastructures, 
establishing organizational key management policies, and specifying
organizational key management practices and plans.

Part 3 is intended to provide guidance to system administrators regarding 
the use of cryptographic algorithms in specific applications, select 
products to
satisfy specific operational environments, and configure the products 
appropriately.
