NIST to Revise Special Publication 800-38E | XTS-AES Block Cipher Mode

In August 2021, NIST's Crypto Publication Review Board initiated a review process for NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-38E, Recommendation for Block Cipher Modes of Operation: the XTS-AES Mode for Confidentiality on Storage Devices (2010).

On February 8, 2023, NIST proposed updating SP 800-38E and received two public comments in response.

NIST has decided to revise the publication. See the full announcement for more details, links to comments received, and ways to monitor future developments.
