ISO/TR 14742:2010

ISO/TR 14742:2010 provides a list of recommended cryptographic algorithms for use within applicable financial services standards prepared by ISO/TC 68. It also provides strategic guidance on key lengths and associated parameters and usage dates. The focus is on algorithms rather than protocols, and protocols are in general not included in ISO/TR 14742:2010. ISO/TR 14742:2010 deals primarily with recommendations regarding algorithms and key lengths. The categories of algorithms covered in ISO/TR 14742:2010 are: block ciphers; stream ciphers; hash functions; message authentication codes (MACs); asymmetric algorithms; digital signature schemes giving message recovery, digital signatures with appendix, asymmetric ciphers; authentication mechanisms; key establishment and agreement mechanisms; key transport mechanisms. ISO/TR 14742:2010 does not define any cryptographic algorithms; however, the standards to which ISO/TR 14742:2010 refers may contain necessary implementation information as well as more detailed guidance regarding choice of security parameters, security analysis, and other implementation considerations.
