BBM Enterprise uses the following standards for signing, encrypting, and hashing, which meet or exceed the NIST Suite B cryptographic guidelines:

• Digital signature standard FIPS 186-4: provides a means of guaranteeing the authenticity and non-repudiation of messages
• AES symmetric encryption standard FIPS 197: uses agreed symmetric keys to guarantee the confidentiality of messages
• HMAC standard FIPS 198-1: based on SHA2-256 and uses agreed symmetric keys to guarantee the integrity of messages
• Cryptographic key generation standard NIST SP 800-133: generates the cryptographic keys that are needed to employ algorithms that provide confidentiality and integrity protection for messages
• Secure Hash standard FIPS 180-4: provides preimage and collision resistant hash functions that are required for secure HMACs, digital signatures, key derivation, and key exchange
