Abstract
This standard sets out the Cryptographic Algorithms to be used within policing. A list of algorithms are provided initially followed by applications and the associated cryptography required for each application. Finally the standard provides some commentary on the emerging cryptography for post quantum computing and lightweight computing.
This standard adheres to the National Policing Community Security Policy Framework and is a suitable reference for community members, notably those who build and implement IT systems on behalf of national policing
