Standardization Related Information
The various encryption schemes developed by NTT (Camellia was developed in cooperation with Mitsubishi Electric Corporation) have been presented in cryptographic conferences and have been highly reputation academically. As indicated below, they are adopted into many international standards and so on.
[Camellia]

Year Standardization Organization Notes Regarding Standardization
2009 [new] IETF Camellia Counter mode (CTR) and Camellia CBC-MAC (CCM) mode were certified by IETF (RFC5528).
Camellia-CTR and Camellia-CCM were certified as the IETF standard cipher (Proposed Standard) for IPsec (IKEv2, ESP) (RFC5529).
2006 RSA Laboratories Camellia was specified as an approved cipher in the PKCS#11 (Public Key Cryptography Standard #11) , which is the cryptographic token interface standard.
2005 IETF Camellia was certified as the IETF standard cipher (Proposed Standard) for XML security URIs (RFC4051). This is the first domestic encryption algorithm to be certified.
Camellia was certified as the IETF standard cipher (Proposed Standard) for SSL/TLS cipher suites (RFC4132). This is the first domestic encryption algorithm to be certified.
Camellia was certified as the IETF standard cipher (Proposed Standard) for IPsec (RFC4312). This is the first domestic encryption algorithm to be certified.
ISO/IEC (International Organization for Standardization/International Electrotechnical Commission) Camellia is adopted for the first time as the ISO/IEC international standard cipher (ISO/IEC18033-3). It was chosen because of its recognition as an encryption scheme with excellent security and performance.
2004 IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force)

Internet standardization body
Camellia was certified as the IETF standard cipher (Proposed Standard) of S/MIME (RFC3657).
This is the first domestic encryption algorithm to be certified.
The technical specification for Camellia was publicly disclosed (RFC3713).
TV-Anytime Forum Camellia was specified as an approved cipher in TV-Anytime Rights Management and Protection Information for Broadcast Applications
2003 NESSIE (New European Schemes for Signature, Integrity and Encryption)

Selection project on the European recommendation of strong cryptographic primitives by EU (European Union)
Camellia is reported as an encryption scheme with excellent security and performance, and was selected as the only European recommended cipher from among the 128-bit block cipher applications inside and outside of Europe. Camellia was evaluated as having many points in common with AES such as security and performance.
CRYPTREC (Cryptography Research & Evaluation Committees)

Evaluation project on the e-government recommended cipher list by CRYPTREC Advisory Committee and CRYPTREC Evaluation Committee
Camellia is reported as an excellent secure encryption scheme, and was officially recognized as an e-government recommended cipher.
TV-Anytime Forum

An association that established the international standard for digital storage broadcast
Camellia was specified as an approved cipher in Bi-directional Metadata Delivery Protection. This is the same standard as that established by ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute).

  Standardization Organization Notes Deliberation Status
Currently being proposed ITU-T (International Telecommunication Union-Telecommunication sector) Camellia is being proposed to the ciphersuites for NGN Draft

Year Standardization Organization Notes Regarding Standardization
2008 CRYPTREC (Cryptography Research & Evaluation Committees)

Evaluation project on the e-government recommended cipher list by CRYPTREC Advisory Committee and CRYPTREC Evaluation Committee
PSEC-KEM Version 2.2 was certified as the valid PSEC-KEM specification, which is recommended cipher list by CRYPTREC.
2006 ISO/IEC (International Organization for Standardization/International Electrotechnical Commission) PSEC-KEM is adopted for the first time as the ISO/IEC international standard cipher (ISO/IEC18033-2). It was chosen because of its recognition as an encryption scheme with excellent security and performance.
2005 IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) PSEC-KEM was certified as the IETF standard cipher (Proposed Standard) for XML security URIs (RFC4051). This is the first domestic encryption algorithm to be certified.
2003

NESSIE (New European Schemes for Signature, Integrity and Encryption)

Selection project on the European recommendation of strong cryptographic primitives by EU (European Union)
PSEC-KEM is reported as an encryption scheme with excellent security and performance, and was selected as the primary European recommended cipher (RSA-KEM is secondary recommended).

CRYPTREC (Cryptography Research & Evaluation Committees)

Evaluation project on the e-government recommended cipher list by CRYPTREC Advisory Committee and CRYPTREC Evaluation Committee
PSEC-KEM is reported as an excellent secure encryption scheme, and was officially recognized as an e-government recommended cipher.

  Standardization Organization Notes Deliberation Status
Currently being proposed IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers) PSEC-KEM is being proposed to the encryption scheme in IEEE P1363 Deliberation

[ESIGN]
Year Standardization Organization Notes Regarding Standardization
2005 IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) ESIGN was certified as the IETF standard signature (Proposed Standard) for XML security URIs (RFC4051).
2002 IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers) ESIGN was selected as the signature scheme in IEEE P1363a.
2001 Law Concerning Electronic Signatures and Certification Services ESIGN was certification in the guidelines for accreditation of designated certification services based on Law Concerning Electronic Signatures and Certification Services (expired in 2002). Currently, NTT does not recommend this specification.
1999

ATM Forum

International non-profit organization that establishes the international standard for the ATM network.
ESIGN was selected in the ATM security specification for the digital signature schemes on ATM networks. Currently, NTT does not recommend this specification.
1998 ISO/IEC (International Organization for Standardization / International Electrotechnical Commission) ESIGN was selected in ISO/IEC14888-3, an ISO/IEC international standard digital signature scheme.
This is the first domestic digital signature scheme to be selected.

  Standardization Organization Notes Deliberation Status
Currently being proposed IEEE ESIGN is being proposed to the signature scheme in IEEE P1363 Deliberation

[FEAL]
Year Standardization Organization Notes Regarding Standardization
1999

ATM Forum

International non-profit organization that establishes the international standard for the ATM network.

FEAL was selected in the ATM
security specification for the encryption algorithms on ATM networks.
1998 JICSAP (Japan IC Card System Application Council) FEAL was appeared in JICSAP IC Card specifications as encryption algorithms for IC cards.
1994 ISO/IEC (International Organization for Standardization / International Electrotechnical Commission) FEAL was registered (registration number 10) based on ISO/IEC9979, procedures for the registration of cryptographic algorithms.

*Notes:
ISO/IEC9979 was withdrawn in 2005.

[ECAO]
Year Standardization Organization Notes Regarding Standardization
2006 ISO/IEC (International Organization for Standardization / International Electrotechnical Commission) ECAO was selected in ISO/IEC9796-3 which is successor to ISO/IEC15946-4, and published in 2006.
2004 ISO/IEC (International Organization for Standardization / International Electrotechnical Commission) ECAO was selected in ISO/IEC15946-4, an ISO/IEC international standard digital signature scheme.
(However, because ISO/IEC1546-4 standard was obsoleted by ISO/IEC9796-3, it was withdrawn in 2007. )
