Table of Contents

1. Introduction

Mandatory algorithms may change over time due to an evolving threat landscape. Algorithms are grouped into algorithm profiles to account for this. Profiles may be deprecated over time. SUIT will define three choices of MTI profile:¶

• One Symmetric MTI profile¶
• One "Current" Asymmetric MTI profile¶
• One "Future" Asymmetric MTI profile¶

Devices MAY choose which MTI profile they wish to implement. It is RECOMMENDED thaty they implement the "Future" Asymmetric MTI profile.¶

Devices MAY implement any number of other profiles.¶

MTI algorithms must be FIPS qualified.¶

2. Algorithms

The algorithms that form a part of the profiles defined in this document are grouped into:¶

• Digest Algorithms¶
• Authentication Algorithms¶
• Key Exchange Algorithms¶
• Encryption Algorithms¶

3. Profiles

Recognized profiles are defined below.¶

4. Security Considerations

TODO¶

5. IANA Considerations
