British Standards Institution

Sector: Governance & Resilience

Overview: Under the direction of IST/33, IST/33/2 is responsible for representing the United Kingdom in ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 27/WG 2, which focuses on cryptographic techniques, including cryptographic key management and entity authentication protocols. IST/33/2 also provides the UK input to CEN/CLC JTC 13/WG 10, which reviews national and international standards for adoption as European standards in the field of cryptography, including post-quantum cryptography.
