[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]As the Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP) prepares for the transition to automated algorithm testing<\/a><\/span>, more and more algorithms are being subjected to the testing process.<\/p>\n

Testing for the key agreement schemes specified in NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-56A is currently under development. Once available, FIPS 140-2<\/a><\/span> validated modules that implement those schemes will be required to comply with revision 3 of that recommendation and will be required to undergo algorithm testing. Modules that include untested implementations will be transitioned to the Historical List<\/a><\/span> on January 1, 2022.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Further Details<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program (CAVP) testing was limited as outlined within NIST SP 800-56A, as such, Vendors were allowed to use the Diffie-Hellman and Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman key scheme agreements as “Non-Approved but allowed” algorithms. As the program has evolved, new guidance specified within SP 800-56A rev3 indicates Vendors will no longer be allowed to use the schemes as “non-Approved but allowed”, but instead must submit “Vendor Affirmation”, which requires substantial work, including code review.<\/p>\n

Moreover, ACVT testing<\/a><\/span> (the newly adopted form of automated algorithm testing) is under development for rev3. Once completed, that “Vendor Affirmation” will no longer be accepted.<\/p>\n

Once testing is available, modules that include implementations to the old standard AND<\/strong> implementations that are vendor-affirmed will all be moved to the Historical List<\/a><\/span>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Solution<\/strong><\/p>\n
