CRYPTREC
CRYPTREC is the Cryptography Research and Evaluation Committees set up by the Japanese Government to evaluate and recommend cryptographic techniques for government and industrial use. It is comparable in many respects to the European Union's NESSIE project and to the Advanced Encryption Standard process run by National Institute of Standards and Technology in the U.S. == Comparison with NESSIE == There are differences between the recommendations of CRYPTREC and the NESSIE project, reflecting their differing mandates and evaluation criteria.
