NIST is pleased to announce the first public draft of Special Publication
800-52, Guidelines on the Selection and Use of Transport Layer Security.
This document is a guideline for implementing Transport Layer Security in
the Federal Government to protect sensitive information. Care must be
taken when selecting cryptographic mechanisms for authentication,
confidentiality, and message integrity, as some choices are non-compliant
with Government standards, or may pose security risks. The comment period
for this document will be 30 days, ending on November 1st, 2004.
Please direct all comments and questions to Matthew J. Fanto at
