The following NIST Special Publications are available at
http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/PubsDrafts.html for review and comment:

The second draft of Special Publication 800-131, /Recommendation for the
Transitioning of Cryptographic Algorithms and Key Sizes/, is available,
and addresses comments received during the first comment period, which
closed in March 2010. This Recommendation (SP 800-131) provides guidance
for transitions to stronger cryptographic keys and more robust
algorithms. Public comments should be sent to 
by July 16, 2010.

A draft of NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-130, /A Framework for
Designing Cryptographic Key Management Systems/, is available for an
initial public comment period. This document contains descriptions of
Cryptographic Key Management System (CKMS) components that should be
considered by a CKMS designer and specifies requirements for the
documentation of those CKMS components in the design. Comments are due
by August 17, 2010, and should be sent to 
<mailto:> with “Comments on CKMS Design
Framework” in the subject line. Note that this document will be
discussed at a Key Management Workshop scheduled for September 20-21,
2010 at NIST. See http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/ST/key_mgmt/
<http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/ST/key_mgmt/> for more information on the
workshop.
