IPA (Information-technology Promotion Agency, Japan)
Information technology Promotion Agency(IPA), sponsored by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry has been conducting the evaluation of cryptographic techniques. The purpose of this project is to list valid cryptographic techniques for the use of an electronic government whose infrastructure will be created by 2003.
The following group of cryptographic techniques, which have been submitted to the formal call of "Call for Cryptographic Techniques" dated by June 13, 2000, will be received the further detailed evaluation by designated evaluator.
Simultaneously, IPA is soliciting public analysis and comments on the the followings. Comments and analysis on any aspect of the cryptographic techniques will be actively used by IPA to make the technical report.
IPA creates the following table with a link to the Web page prepared by the submitter to publicize the information. Comments and attacks regarding the following cryptographic techniques have been publicized in academic journals,magazines, papers, or other publications which are generally available to the public would be very useful for us.
IPA would like to thank the organizations who contributed to provide us with public information and analysis (attacks) on the cryptographic techniques.

Call for Cryptographic Techniques (Provisional Translation)

The background
Creating the common security basis is one of the most important tasks for the Japanese electronic government of which the infrastructure and primary systems will be constructed by FY 2003.
Cryptographic techniques are particularly important and indispensable components of the electronic government because these not only provide information confidentiality and prevent information falsification, but also assure electronic authentication.
Because of the importance of cryptogrphic techniques, it has been pointed out domestically that the Japanese national government should adopt a cryptography usage policy in order to ensure that cryptography is integrated properly into the electronic government. Internationally the ISO/IEC JTC1 have begun efforts aimed at standardizing cryptographic algorithms.
This call is an essential part of the MITI Action Plan for a Secure E-Government - announced by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) in April 2000. MITI has entrusted the IPA with the implementation of this project.
The purpose
The purpose of this call is to make a technical report. The report is to include a list of characteristics on cryptographic techniques that will be proposed through a call for submission applicable to the Japanese electronic government. To make such list, IPA investigate and evaluate the proposed cryptographic techniques in terms of security, implementation and other characteristics from the viewpoints of various objective specialists.
IPA has organized a committee (Cryptography Research and Evaluation Committee) to perform evaluation of Cryptographic Techniques. The committee is composed of most prominent cryptography specialists in Japan and will evaluate the cryptographic techniques that are submitted

Abstract of the project implementation
IPA organizes a committee (Cryptography Research and Evaluation Committee) for implementing this project.
The committee is composed of most prominent cryptography specialists in Japan and will evaluate the cryptographic techniques that are submitted.
Cryptographic Techniques that will be evaluated are asymmetric cryptographic schemes, symmetric ciphers, hash functions and pseudorandom number generators - the four types of techniques considered indispensable in the electronic government.
The evaluation will be conducted in two phases: the screening test phase and the detailed evaluation phase. Detailed evaluations will be conducted on proposals that have passed screening tests.
The evaluation guidelines are to be established by the committee.
Reports, including the evaluation results, will be compiled by the committee following due and proper consideration on fairness and transparency, and will be announced on web pages hosted by the IPA.
