Standardization Related Information
| Year | Standardization Organization | Notes Regarding Standardization |
|---|---|---|
| 2013 | CRYPTREC [new] | Selected for New e-Government Recommended Ciphers Candidate List (in Japanese) |
| 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. |
