Implementation Guidance for FIPS 140-2: Cryptographic Module Validation Program
Last September 11, 2017; Initial March 28, 2003
The Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP) validates the test results of National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) accredited Cryptographic and Security Testing (CST) Laboratories which test cryptographic modules for conformance to Federal Information Processing Standard Publication (FIPS) 140-2, Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules. The Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program (CAVP) addresses the testing of Approved Security Functions, Approved Random Number Generators and Approved Key Establishment Techniques which are referenced in the annexes of FIPS 140-2. This document is intended to provide programmatic guidance of the CMVP, and in particular, clarifications and guidance pertaining to the Derived Test Requirements for FIPS PUB 140-2 (DTR), which is used by CST Laboratories to test for a cryptographic module’s conformance to FIPS 140-2. Guidance presented in this document is based on responses issued to questions posed by the CST Labs, vendors, and other interested parties.
Why buy a book you can download for free? We print this book so you don’t have to.
First you gotta find a good clean (legible) copy and make sure it’s the latest version (not always easy). Some documents found on the web are missing some pages or the image quality is so poor, they are difficult to read. We look over each document carefully and replace poor quality images by going back to the original source document. We proof each document to make sure it’s all there – including all changes. If you find a good copy, you could print it using a network printer you share with 100 other people (typically its either out of paper or toner). If it’s just a 10-page document, no problem, but if it’s 250-pages, you will need to punch 3 holes in all those pages and put it in a 3-ring binder. Takes at least an hour.
It’s much more cost-effective to just order the latest version from Amazon.com
