Vyšel draft NIST Special Publication 800-38E, Recommendation for Block Cipher Modes of Operation: The XTS-AES Mode for Confidentiality on Block-Oriented Storage Devices
18.08.2009
This document approves the XTS-AES mode of the AES algorithm by reference to IEEE Std 1619-2007, subject to one additional requirement, as an option for protecting the confidentiality of data on block-oriented storage devices. This mode does not provide authentication, in order to avoid expansion of the data; however, it does provide some protection against malicious manipulation of the encrypted data.
