Overview#
NIST.SP.800-107 is a
NIST Special Publication titled as Recommendation for
Applications Using Approved
Hash Algorithms
ABstract#
Hash Functions that compute a fixed-length
Message-Digest from arbitrary length
messages are widely used for many purposes in information security. This document provides security guidelines for achieving the required or desired security strengths when
using
cryptographic applications that employ the approved hash functions specified in
Federal Information Processing Standard (
FIPS)
180-4. These include functions such as
Digital Signatures,
Keyed-Hash Message Authentication Codes (
HMACs) and
Hash-based Key Derivation Functions (
Hash-based
KDFs)
