Cryptography standards

refers to a set of guidelines and protocols that govern the use of cryptographic techniques in information security. These standards are developed and maintained by various organizations, including the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of sensitive data. Cryptography standards cover a wide range of topics, such as encryption algorithms, key management, digital signatures, and secure communication protocols. Compliance with these standards is essential for organizations that handle sensitive information, such as financial institutions, government agencies, and healthcare providers.From: Biometric Technology [2019]

As suggested earlier, one of the best resources in conforming to regulations and guidelines is other standards. Consider NIST (the National Institute of Standards and Technology). For example, in the world of cryptography, NIST develops and publishes cryptography standards such as the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard). NIST is part of the U.S. Department of Commerce and it has ties to government agencies as diverse as NASA and the NSA.

Recently, several new-type ABE schemes have been brought forward, such as searchable ABE (Li & Shi, 2017), traceable ABE (Ning & Dong, 2015), hidden ABE (Phuong & Yang, 2015) and so on. Li and Yu (2019) provide a hierarchical ABE scheme and extends ABE with key delegation. Li and Lin (2016) propose Outsourced ABE with keyword search function (KSF-OABE) where the cloud server is not trustworthy. Despite so many new-type ABE schemes, few ABE schemes have link with Chinese commercial cryptography standards such as SM2 and SM9 (reference in ‘GM/T 0044-2016’).
