(Taking a deep breath to refrain from ranting about "country club"
standards organizations, which suppress interoperability by charging
$9,000 for the priviledge of commenting on a draft standard...)
I *think* this is correct. After I figure out how to buy a copy
of this document I'll believe it. The pointer to the FIPS 140 documentation
is the most substantial lead I have found to date.
Curiously enough, there seem to be no references to a standard before
the X9.52 effort, which appears to be only a year or two old. NIST calls
Triple DES a "private" standard.
Thanks, Josh!
