Hi List,

Was looking for a list of currently approved encryption algorithms (both symmetric and assymetric), will use same as 
our organisation's standard for encryption algos

e.g. AES would be the standard instead of DES

Searched the FIPS/NIST documents but did not find any single document giving list of standard encryption algorithms 
approved by FIPS

could anyone point us to any such documents that can be used as a reference of current encryption algos that are 
'unbreakable'?

thanks all for your help
