ISO/TR 14742:2010

Financial services — Recommendations on cryptographic algorithms and their use

Scope

ISO/TR 14742:2010 provides a list of recommended cryptographic algorithms for use within applicable financial services standards prepared by ISO/TC 68. It also provides strategic guidance on key lengths and associated parameters and usage dates.
The focus is on algorithms rather than protocols, and protocols are in general not included in ISO/TR 14742:2010.
ISO/TR 14742:2010 deals primarily with recommendations regarding algorithms and key lengths.
The categories of algorithms covered in ISO/TR 14742:2010 are:

block ciphers;
stream ciphers;
hash functions;
message authentication codes (MACs);
asymmetric algorithms;

digital signature schemes giving message recovery,
digital signatures with appendix,
asymmetric ciphers;


authentication mechanisms;
key establishment and agreement mechanisms;
key transport mechanisms.

ISO/TR 14742:2010 does not define any cryptographic algorithms; however, the standards to which ISO/TR 14742:2010 refers may contain necessary implementation information as well as more detailed guidance regarding choice of security parameters, security analysis, and other implementation considerations.
