Hi Everyone,

I just got word from Morris Dworkin that the Cryptographic Technology Group within NIST has decided to approve XTS-AES! Thank you to everyone who provided public comments of support for XTS. This undoubtedly made the difference in NIST's final decision.

NIST plans to produce a draft Special Publication that uses IEEE Std 1619-2007 as the reference for XTS-AES, along with some general guidance.

I'll update the group as more information becomes available... :)

Cheers!
-Matt
