Last-modified: 94/06/13

This is the tenth of ten parts of the sci.crypt FAQ. The parts are mostly independent, but you should read the first part before the rest. We don't have the time to send out missing parts by mail, so don't ask. Notes such as ``[KAH67]'' refer to the reference list in this part.

The sections of this FAQ are available via anonymous FTP to rtfm.mit.edu as /pub/usenet/news.answers/cryptography-faq/part[xx]. The Cryptography FAQ is posted to the newsgroups sci.crypt, talk.politics.crypto, sci.answers, and news.answers every 21 days.

10.5. Journals, conference proceedings

CRYPTO
Eurocrypt
IEEE Transactions on Information Theory
Cryptologia: a cryptology journal, quarterly since Jan 1977. Cryptologia; Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology; Terre Haute Indiana 47803 [general: systems, analysis, history, ...]
Journal of Cryptology; International Association for Cryptologic Research; published by Springer Verlag (quarterly since 1988).
The Cryptogram (Journal of the American Cryptogram Association); 18789 West Hickory Street; Mundelein, IL 60060; [primarily puzzle cryptograms of various sorts]
Cryptosystems Journal, Published by Tony Patti, P.O. Box 188, Newtown PA, USA 18940-0188 or tony_s_patti@cup.portal.com. Publisher's comment: Includes complete cryptosystems with source and executable programs on diskettes. Tutorial. The typical cryptosystems supports multi-megabit keys and Galois Field arithmetic. Inexpensive hardware random number generator details.
Computer and Communication Security Reviews, published by Ross Anderson. Sample issue available from various ftp sites, including black.ox.ac.uk. Editorial c/o rja14@cl.cam.ac.uk. Publisher's comment: We review all the conference proceedings in this field, including not just Crypto and Eurocrypt, but regional gatherings like Auscrypt and Chinacrypt. We also abstract over 50 journals, and cover computer security as well as cryptology, so readers can see the research trends in applications as well as theory.
Infosecurity News, MIS Training Institute Press, Inc. 498 Concord Street Framingham MA 01701-2357. This trade journal is oriented toward administrators and covers viruses, physical security, hackers, and so on more than cryptology. Furthermore, most of the articles are written by vendors and hence are biased. Nevertheless, there are occasionally some rather good cryptography articles.

10.7. How may one obtain copies of FIPS and ANSI standards cited herein?

Many textbooks on cryptography contain complete reprints of the FIPS standards, which are not copyrighted.

The following standards may be ordered from the U.S. Department of Commerce, National Technical Information Service, Springfield, VA 22161.

FIPS PUB 46-1 Data Encryption Standard (this is DES)
FIPS PUB 74 Guidelines for Implementing as Using the NBS DES
FIPS PUB 81 DES Modes of Operation
FIPS PUB 113 Computer Data Authentication (using DES)

[Note: The address below has been reported as invalid.]
The following standards may be ordered from the American National Standards Institute Sales Office, 1430 Broadway, New York, NY 10018. Phone 212.642.4900

ANSI X3.92-1981 Data Encryption Algorithm (identical to FIPS 46-1)
ANSI X3.106-1983 DEA Modes of Operation (identical to FIPS 113)

Notes: Figure 3 in FIPS PUB 46-1 is in error, but figure 3 in X3.92-1981 is correct. The text is correct in both publications.
