The NIST Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program (CAVP) provides validation testing of Approved (i.e., FIPS-approved and NIST-recommended) cryptographic algorithms and their individual components. Cryptographic algorithm validation is a prerequisite of cryptographic module validation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What atsec offers:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

atsec US offers algorithm testing specified under the NIST Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program (CAVP) through its accredited Cryptographic Security Testing (CST) laboratory (NVLAP Lab Code #200658-0); the list of cryptographic algorithms that can be tested by an authorized laboratory are listed on the CAVP web page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

atsec also provides full support for the NIST Automated Cryptographic Validation Testing System (ACVTS), including training your team to be proficient with the testing system maintained by NIST and providing guidance and know-how on using it. We can get you up to speed with the new vector format, newly testable ciphers, and querying the demo and production servers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Why our services are important to you:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Testing whether cryptographic algorithms are implemented correctly is a prerequisite for FIPS 140-3 cryptographic module testing, NIAP Common Criteria evaluations, and by other select Common Criteria schemes and certification programs that accept the NIST CAVP certificate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vendors do have the option to access the ACVTS themselves, but that comes with a number of challenges, such as needing to dedicate resources to the project, knowledge of how to operate the tools, and an NVLAP accreditation. It is typically more efficient to outsource this effort to an accredited laboratory like atsec US’s CST lab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make the testing process as little of a hassle as possible, atsec created solutions to make the switch to the ACVTS easy and efficient for our customers, including the Automated Cryptographic Verification Protocol (ACVP) Proxy and ACVP Parser.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
