Please be advised that a New Work Item Proposal has been loaded to the BSI Standards Development Portal for comment.

Any comments received will be submitted to the national committee IST/33 “Information security, cybersecurity and privacy protection” for consideration when deciding the UK response to the associated Standards Development Organisation.

  1. Proposal: ISO/IEC NP 11770-8, Information technology — Security techniques — Part 8: Password-based key derivation.

Please visit https://standardsdevelopment.bsigroup.com/projects/9023-09346

Comment period end date:03/12/2023

Scope

This document specifies key derivation functions designed to take human-memorable passwords as input. This document is applicable to environments where it is necessary to derive a cryptographic key from a password.

Purpose

SC 27/WG 2 made the following decisions during its meeting in Paris in October 2019.

  • New part: Create ISO/IEC 11770-8 to include the proposed mechanism Argon2 v1.3.

However on the October 2021 online meeting, the project editors informed WG 2 that due to technical difficulties, it would not be possible for them to complete this project. The editors recommended to cancel the project, and this recommendation was approved.

On the April 2022 online meeting, new experts volunteered to restart the project and WG 2 submitted the following decision for approval in SC 27 based on the now defunct project:

  • New part: Create ISO/IEC 11770-8 to include the proposed mechanism Argon2 v1.3.
  • Scope: SC 27/WG 2 confirmed that ISO/IEC 11770-8 is within the scope of the ISO/IEC 11770 series.

  • Proposal: Additive manufacturing for metals — Qualification principles — Test method for indentation plastometry

Please visit ISO/ASTM PWI 52965

Comment period end date:24/11/2023

Scope

This document describes a test method which covers procedures for carrying out indentation plastometry. This document specifies an indentation-based test technique to determine the stressstrain properties of metallic materials.

This document does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use.

Purpose

The tensile test is the gold standard for determining the yield strength and ultimate tensile strength of metallic materials. The tensile test typically requires machining of a large test coupon and a universal mechanical test machine. These requirements mean that tensile testing can often be slow and large sample volumes are required, which makes this method expensive due to the large amount of powder required, the printing time and sample machining. In addition, it is very difficult to map spatially-varying properties across a part. In some cases, such as complex parts made by additive manufacturing, it can be difficult if not impossible to produce a sample where properties can be reliably measured using conventional tensile testing. This standard for Indentation Plastometry is therefore required to establish a standardised test method for applying indentation-based tests (coupled with inverse finite element analyses) to accurately determine tensile properties.
