After performing an internal review of some of its older publications, NIST’s Computer Security Division has decided to withdraw three (3) SP 800 publications on October 19, 2018. These publications are out of date and will not be revised or superseded.

After they are withdrawn, their details pages, Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) and fulltext PDF links will remain available for historical reference under CSRC Publications, with their status changing from “Final” to “Withdrawn.”

The publications are listed below, along with brief statements about their withdrawal:
