Hmm, let's see... I'm pretty sure it's not the American Bankers Association or the International Telecommunications Union. They're more like the supporting cast, not the star of the show. My money's on NIST, the cryptography superhero!

The correct answer is C) National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). This is the U.S. government agency responsible for establishing standards for cryptography in nonmilitary use. It's like having a secret code, but the government gives you the key to unlock it!
