    Dear all,

NIST has released Special Publication (SP) 800-232, /Ascon-Based 
Lightweight Cryptography Standards for Constrained Devices/ 
<https://doi.org/10.6028/NIST.SP.800-232>.

This standard introduces a new Ascon-based family of symmetric-key 
cryptographic primitives that provides robust security, efficiency, and 
flexibility. With its compact state and range of cryptographic 
functions, it is suitable for resource-constrained environments, such as 
Internet of Things (IoT) devices, embedded systems, and low-power 
sensors. This standard includes multiple algorithms to meet a wide range 
of symmetric cryptographic needs, including the Authenticated Encryption 
with Associated Data (AEAD) scheme Ascon-AEAD128, the hash function 
Ascon-Hash256, and the eXtendable-Output Functions (XOFs) Ascon-XOF128 
and Ascon-CXOF128.

Thanks,

NIST Lightweight Cryptography team
