The United States government has published guidelines for "NSA Suite
B Cryptography", which defines cryptographic algorithm policy for
national security applications.  This document defines a profile of
Transport Layer Security (TLS) version 1.2 that is fully conformant
with Suite B.  This document also defines a transitional profile for
use with TLS version 1.0 and TLS version 1.1 which employs Suite B
algorithms to the greatest extent possible.  This memo provides 
information for the Internet community.
