ISO/TR 14742:2010

Financial services - Recommendations on cryptographic algorithms and their use

ISO/TR 14742:2010 provides a list of recommended cryptographic algorithms for use within applicable financial services standards prepared by ISO/TC 68. It also provides strategic guidance on key lengths and associated parameters and usage dates.

The focus is on algorithms rather than protocols, and protocols are in general not included in ISO/TR 14742:2010.

ISO/TR 14742:2010 deals primarily with recommendations regarding algorithms and key lengths.

The categories of algorithms covered in ISO/TR 14742:2010 are:

• block ciphers;
• stream ciphers;
• hash functions;
• message authentication codes (MACs);
• asymmetric algorithms;
  • digital signature schemes giving message recovery,
  • digital signatures with appendix,
  • asymmetric ciphers;
• authentication mechanisms;
• key establishment and agreement mechanisms;
• key transport mechanisms.

ISO/TR 14742:2010 does not define any cryptographic algorithms; however, the standards to which ISO/TR 14742:2010 refers may contain necessary implementation information as well as more detailed guidance regarding choice of security parameters, security analysis, and other implementation considerations.

To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.

With Requirements, quickly access the main part of the normative text!
