Suite A is a series of cryptographic algorithms designed by the National Security Agency as part of its Cryptographic Modernization Program. Unlike Suite B, almost nothing has been disclosed publicly about them. It is for use in highly sensitive applications where the open availability or inherent security properties of the Suite B algorithms are not considered sufficiently secure.

Some algorithms in Suite A:

• ACCORDION
• MEDLEY
• PEGASUS
