Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical
Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are
members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical
committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical
activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the
work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee,
ISO/IEC JTC 1.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not

Annex B
Add the following after B.15:
B.16  Security of FACE-KEM
The key encapsulation mechanism FACE-KEM, defined in 10.5, has the following security properties.
Recall that FACE-KEM is parameterized by a group Γ (see 10.1), a hash function Hash (see 6.1), and
a key derivation KDF (see 6.2).
FACE-KEM can be proven secure against adaptive chosen ciphertext attack, assuming that the DDH
problem (defined in B.8.2) is hard for group Γ. The security proof does not make use of the random
oracle model. Instead, in the security proof, Hash is assumed to be secure against second preimage
collision attacks, and KDF is assumed to transform the encoding of a random group element to a
random octet string. For the security proof of FACE-KEM, see Reference [44] (indirect security
reduction to the DDH problem), or Reference [46] (direct security reduction to the DDH problem).
