This bulletin summarizes the information presented in NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-133, Recommendation for Cryptographic Key Generation. The publication helps federal government organizations generate the cryptographic keys that are to be used with approved cryptographic algorithms to protect information and information systems. Topics discussed include general background information on the generation of cryptographic keys, how and where the keys are generated; and requirements for the generation of keys that provide the security strengths needed by organizations to protect their information. The bulletin summarizes these topics and includes references to additional sources of information on the management of cryptographic keys.
