Algorithm validation testing is a critical path issue for FIPS 140-3 validations and for NIAP Protection Profile-based Common Criteria evaluations. Equipment vendors are often surprised at the level of effort and the potential challenges in successfully completing the algorithm testing process.
At Lightship, we have developed a suite of tools to allow us to standardize, simplify and streamline the process to obtain CAVP (Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program) validation.
This post will outline each of the steps in addition to identifying where we will require input from the vendor.
