NIST is done standardizing #ASCON, an encryption and hashing algorithm. I count that as a big win for #IoT security, in particular because the last review round's raised concerns were heeded and there is now a 32-bit tag mode usable for applications such as 802.15.4 link-layer security.
Congratulations…
