TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Are you thinking of the FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards) documents that are published by NIST (National Institute for Science and Technology)?
The only other thing I can think of is the NSA (National Security Agency), which was involved with the DES standard and developed the SHA-1 and SHA-2 hash algorithms.
