October 1, 2009
National Institute of Information and Communications Technology
Information-technology Promotion Agency, Japan

CRYPTREC has started accepting applications of cryptographic techniques towards the revision of the e-Government Ciphers List in FY 2013. Called cryptographic techniques and the application period are as follows.

Cryptographic techniques

1. Symmetric cryptographic techniques
   a) 128-bit block ciphers（key lengths: 128/192/256 bits）
   b) Stream ciphers (key length: 128 bits or more)
2. Message Authentication Codes
3. Modes of operation
4. Entity Authentications

Application period

from Oct.1, 2009 to Feb.4, 2010 17:00(JST)

*** Application period was over ***
