Guidance on becoming cryptographically agile.: D97-1/40-018-2022E-PDF
"Cryptographic agility is a concept of best practice that enables cryptographic algorithms used in applications and protocols to be interchanged easily to ensure systems remain secure if new cryptographic vulnerabilities are discovered. This is done primarily through configuration without requiring major software or hardware updates. Agile products must have streamlined software and firmware upgrade capabilities to support cases where all configuration options have been exhausted. To enable a phased transition, agile products should retain interoperability with other systems. Agile products should retain any and all applicable validations and certifications, subject to configuration. Agility relies upon organizational processes and policies that maintain an inventory of locations and uses of cryptographic algorithms and products within an organization to facilitate quick, easy, and complete transitions as needed"--Page [1].
