The German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) publishes 
[[https://www.bsi.bund.de/EN/Themen/Unternehmen-und-Organisationen/Standards-und-Zertifizierung/Technische-Richtlinien/technische-richtlinien_node.html|technical guidelines and protection profiles]] 
for cryptography.

Some documents are of interests to GnuPG. (Don't rely on the translations, they are just trying to give an idea.)
