In January 2023, NIST's Crypto Publication Review Board initiated a review process for NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-132, Recommendation for Password-Based Key Derivation - Part 1: Storage Applications (December 2010).
In March 2023, NIST proposed revising SP 800-132, in response to the public comments received.
NIST has decided to revise SP 800-132 to
- approve an additional memory-hard password-based key derivation function and password hashing scheme, and
- provide additional guidelines and clarifications on the use of PBKDF2.
The effort to revise SP 800-132 will follow the typical process of posting a draft for public comment, although draft preparation has not yet started.
