This standard specifies the XTS cryptographic mode of operation for the Advanced Encryption Standard modes (AES) block cipher for block-oriented storage devices.
Purpose
The purpose of this standard is to define the XTS cryptographic mode while maintaining backward compatibility with existing implementations that are compliant with IEEE Std 1619(TM)-2007.
Abstract
Revision Standard - Active.Cryptographic transform for protection of data in sector-level storage devices is specified in this standard.
