	Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 185
		The standard states that a risk analysis should be performed to determine potential threats and risk and that the costs of providing encryption using this standard as well as alternative methods and their respective costs should be projected.
		Therefore, the standard was changed to state that the session key used to encrypt transmitted information shall be the same as the session key used to decrypt received information in a two-way simultaneous communication.
		Four Federal government organizations and two individuals said that the standard is not an interoperability standard, that it does not specify parameter lengths and formats and placement in communications, and that the standard provides insufficient technical information for implementation.

		Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) two-letter country codes (FIPS 10-4) are used by the US Government for data processing, and in the CIA World Factbook.
		FIPS county codes are a Federal Information Processing Standard for five-digit codes used to uniquely identify counties and county equivalents in the United States, certain U.S. possessions, and certain freely associated states.
		Applicability: This standard is applicable to all Federal departments and agencies for the protection of unclassified information that is not subject to section 2315 of Title 10, United States Code, or section 3502(2) of Title 44, United States Code.

	Federal Information Processing Standard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) are publicly announced standards developed by the U.S. Federal government for use by all (non-military) government agencies and by government contractors.
		Some FIPS standards were originally developed by the U.S. government.
		All similar to or comparable with ISO 3166, or the NUTS standard of the European Union.

	RFC 806 - Proposed Federal Information Processing Standard: Specification for message format for computer based message ...
		Standard formats (syntax) for messages ensure that the contents of messages generated by one CBMS can be processed by another CBMS.
		Standard meanings (sematics) for the components of a message ensure standard interpretation of a message, so that everyone receiving a message gets the meaning intended by its sender.
		The core of the technical information in the document is in Section 2 "A Simple Model of a CBMS Environment", Section 3.1 "Semantics of Message Fields", Section 4.2 "Overview of Syntax Encoding", and Section 4.3 "Data Element Syntax".

	Federal Information Processing Standard 81, 1980 - DES Modes of Operation
		Federal Information Processing Standards Publications (FIPS PUBS) are issued by the National Institute of Standards and Technology after approval by the Secretary of Commerce pursuant to Section 111(d) of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949, as amended by the Computer Security Act of 1987, Public Law 100-235.
		This standard specifies the numbering of data bits, how the bits are encrypted and decrypted, and the data paths and the data processing necessary for encrypting and decrypting data or messages.
		The ECB decryption process is the same as the ECB encryption process except that the decrypt state of the DES device is used rather than the encrypt state.

		Use of this standard permits the construction of semantic data models which may serve to support the management of data as a resource, the integration of information systems, and the building of computer databases.
		This standard is the reference authority for use by information modelers required to utilize the IDEF1X modeling technique, implementors in developing tools for implementing this technique, and other computer professionals in understanding the precise syntactic and semantic rules of the standard.
		Domain information should be stored in the glossary as informal notation stating the data type for base domains, sub-typing relationships for typed domains, and the domain rules and representation for all domains.

		This standard is for use in conjunction with FIPS PUB 112, Password Usage Standard, which provides basic security criteria for the design, implementation, and use of passwords.
		This standard is applicable to the development of procurement or design specifications for implementing an automatic password generation algorithm within a computer system.
		It shall be used by all Federal departments and agencies when there is a requirement for computer generated pronounceable passwords for authenticating users of computer systems, or for authorizing access to resources in those systems.

	FAQs about the Standard for PIV of Federal Employees and Contracters
		All federal departments and agencies and all their contractors requiring access to federal facilities and systems must comply with this standard and the specifications in the supporting documents, except that the standard shall not apply to identification associated with national security systems as defined by law.
		The standard is divided into two parts so agencies can make an orderly migration—in terms of both technology and "identity proofing"—from their current systems to the requirements established by the standard and meet the ambitious deadlines established by the President in HSPD #12.
		The first part, to be implemented within eight months of the standard's issuance, focuses on security objectives, to include "identity proofing." With all agencies meeting the same security objectives, there will be a basis for trust among agencies with regard to the mutual recognition of their employee and contractor credentials.
