The IESG has approved changing the status of the following document: - Suite B in Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME) (rfc5008) to Historic This document action is documented at: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/status-change-suiteb-to-historic/ A URL of the affected document is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc5008/ Status Change Details: Several RFCs profile security protocols for use with the National Security Agency (NSA) Suite B Cryptography. Suite B is no longer supported by NSA, and the web pages that specify the cryptographic algorithms are no longer available. In July 2015, NSA published the Committee for National Security Systems Advisory Memorandum 02-15 as the first step in replacing Suite B with NSA's Commercial National Security Algorithm (CNSA) Suite. Information about the CNSA Suite can be found in [CNSA]. draft-housley-suite-b-to-historic-02 [TODO: change to RFC #] documents the full rationale for this change. Personnel Eric Rescorla is the responsible Area Director.
