The National Security Agency wants federal agencies to consider using a
group of algorithms it refers to as Suite B to satisfy future

but sensitive information. NSA has posted a notice about Suite B on its
Web site.

on 16 February 2005 becomes a news in December...

BTW, we already discussed here Suite B a couple of months ago (see,
e.g., NSA Suite B Cryptography thread started by Perry posted on
