Encyclopedia > Type 3 encryption

In NSA terminology, a Type 3 algorithm is an encryption algorithm that has been adopted as a Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) for use with sensitive, but unclassified (SBU) information. Examples include DES, 3DES and AES (although AES might also be usable in NSA-certified Type 1 products).

XML Encryption Syntax and Processing (8771 words)
The type of data encrypted may be represented as an attribute value to aid in decryption and subsequent processing.
Simple stream encryption algorithms generate, based on the key, a stream of bytes which are XORed with the plain text data bytes to produce the cipher text on encryption and with the cipher text bytes to produce plain text on decryption.
In encryption chaining modes this data is the first to be encrypted and is consequently called the IV (initalization value or vector).
Press Releases (2000 - 2005) (357 words)
This addendum specifies the general security requirements to be used when transmitting Type 3 key management messages (KMMs) as defined in the OTAR protocol document.
It also specifies the requirements to encrypt (wrap) Type 3 keys when sent as part of a KMM, the techniques to be used to protect the integrity of KMMs and the mechanism used to protect against the replay of KMMs.
It is designed to support all block encryption algorithms that have a block size that is a multiple of two octets except for DES.
