This report contains the official delivery D.SPA.7 of the ECRYPT2 Network of Excellence (NoE), funded within the Information Societies Technology (IST) Programme of the European Commission's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7).The report provides a list of recommended cryptographic algorithms (e.g.block ciphers, hash functions, signature schemes, etc) and recommended keysizes and other parameter settings (where applicable) to reach specified security objectives.Due to possible advances in cryptanalysis, the report is revised on a yearly basis for the duration of the project.The report reflects state-of-the-art in public knowledge at the time of writing.It builds upon an earlier report produced by the ECRYPT NoE from the Sixth Framework Programme (FP6).The fact that a specific algorithm or variant thereof is not included in this report should not be taken as indication that particular algorithm is insecure.Reasons for exclusion could just as well be limited practical use (e.g.lack of standardization and/or implementation), maturity, etc. Public analysis:Reference to public analysis carried out, e.g. research papers and/or efforts such as NESSIE, Cryptrec, etc, where applicable.Known weakness: Reference and short explanation of known weaknesses, should such be known.Comments: Any additional information, e.g.caveats, pros/cons in using the algorithm, etc.Note that the algorithm records are not necessarily exhaustive.
