RFC 5430: Suite B Profile for Transport Layer Security (TLS)
This RFC has been replaced. Do not implement against it for new work — it was formally obsoleted by RFC 6460.
Current version: RFC 6460 — Suite B Profile for Transport Layer Security (TLS)
In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC
The United States government has published guidelines for "NSA Suite B Cryptography", which defines cryptographic algorithm policy for national security applications. This document defines a profile of Transport Layer Security (TLS) version 1.2 that is fully conformant with Suite B. This document also defines a transitional profile for use with TLS version 1.0 and TLS version 1.1 which employs Suite B algorithms to the greatest extent possible. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
