This part of ISO/IEC 9797 specifies the following MAC algorithms that use a secret key and a universal 
hash-function with an n-bit result to calculate an m-bit MAC based on the block ciphers specified in 
ISO/IEC 18033-3 and the stream ciphers specified in ISO/IEC 18033-4: 
a) UMAC; 
b) Badger; 
c) Poly1305-AES; 
d) GMAC. 

Project need:

To align Canadian requirements with those of the respective international standards being proposed for adoption and to maintain alignment between Canadian information and communication technology standards and each respective international standard. This proposed New Standard is being developed at the request of P123 – Technical Committee on Information Technology. It will provide the industry with the latest standards available in the ICT field.

Note: The information provided above was obtained by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) and is provided as part of a centralized, transparent notification system for new standards development. The system allows SCC-accredited Standards Development Organizations (SDOs), and members of the public, to be informed of new work in Canadian standards development, and allows SCC-accredited SDOs to identify and resolve potential duplication of standards and effort.
