FIPS 113 Computer Data Authentication on the NIST website for Message authentication There is a mention of 2 approved algorithms, i am curious about the first one. the link to FIPS 113, Computer Data Authentication appears to be dead since it redirects me to the homepage of NIST.gov 

On a dutch Wikipedia article (the only wiki article i could find about FIPS 113, it is stated this FIPS is outdated and not secure by today's standards. Is this true? is the Algorithm described in FIPS no longer safe? would this make HMAC the only NIST approved MAC?



I have written an email notifying the NIST site administrator about the link.
The NIST site http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/PubsFIPSArch.html lists FIPS 113 as Withdrawn: Sep 2008. The Federal Register https://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2005/07/15/05-13992/proposed-withdrawal-of-ten-10-federal-information-processing-standards-fips gives a reason:


  FIPS 113, Computer Data Authentication, specifies an algorithm for
  generating and verifying a Message Authentication Code (MAC). Since
  the algorithm is based on the Data Encryption Standard, which has been
  recommended for withdrawal, NIST plans to recommend the use of newer
  techniques for data authentication based on more secure algorithms.
