DESCRIPTION:In theory\, we understand how to provide security through cryp
 tography\, yet too often practice does not live up to this promise.   In s
 tandards\, cryptographic imperatives compete with other pragmatic needs.  
 This work seeks to understand those non-cryptographic needs and shed light
  on how they impact cryptographic security.  We survey security failures i
 n cryptographic standards and implementations\, and analyze common problem
 s.  For standards\, we consider the example of problems with authenticatio
 n and the slow but steady adoption of authenticated encryption.   For impl
 ementations\, we review reported vulnerabilities and assess typical misuse
 s and failure modes.  Lastly\, we suggest some ways that the research and 
 standards communities can collaborate. \n
