The 1.0 suite includesincluded:
 
* [[Advanced Encryption Standard]] with 256 bit keys
Line 13:
The CNSA transition is notable for moving [[RSA (cryptosystem)|RSA]] from a temporary ''legacy'' status, as it appeared in Suite B, to ''supported'' status. It also did not include the [[Digital Signature Algorithm]]. This, and the overall delivery and timing of the announcement, in the absence of post-quantum standards, raised considerable speculation about whether NSA had found weaknesses e.g. in elliptic-curve algorithms or others, or was trying to distance itself from an exclusive focus on ECC for non-technical reasons.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://pomcor.com/2016/02/09/nsas-faqs-demystify-the-demise-of-suite-b-but-fail-to-explain-one-important-detail/|title=NSA's FAQs Demystify the Demise of Suite B, but Fail to Explain One Important Detail – Pomcor|date=9 February 2016 |language=en-US|access-date=2020-02-28}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2015/10/22/a-riddle-wrapped-in-curve/|title=A riddle wrapped in a curve|date=2015-10-22|website=A Few Thoughts on Cryptographic Engineering|language=en|access-date=2020-02-28}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Koblitz|first1=Neal|last2=Menezes|first2=Alfred J.|date=2018-05-19|title=A Riddle Wrapped in an Enigma|url=https://eprint.iacr.org/2015/1018|journal=Cryptology ePrint Archive}}</ref>
 
== Version 2.0 Announcement ==
In September 2022, the NSA announced CNSA 2.0, which includes its first recommendations for post-quantum cryptographic algorithms.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Post-Quantum Cybersecurity Resources |url=https://www.nsa.gov/Cybersecurity/Post-Quantum-Cybersecurity-Resources/ |access-date=2023-03-03 |website=www.nsa.gov}}</ref>
