Type 3 encryption

Type 3 encryption

In NSA terminology, a Type 3 algorithm is an encryption algorithm that has been adopted as a Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) for use with Sensitive, But Unclassified (SBU) information on non-national security systems. Examples include DES, Triple DES and AES (although AES might also be usable in NSA-certified Type 1 products).
