Abstract
In 2005 the US security authority NSA published a catalog of cryptographic methods to serve as the basis for the modernisation of the national cryptographic technology in the USA. The catalog is known by the name “Suite B” and has also generated great interest far beyond the borders of the USA. Suite B could exert appreciable influence on the application of cryptography for years to come. This paper covers the significance of Suite B for European organisations.
