Title: NIST CAVP: A Guideline and Tool for Cryptographic Validation
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has developed the Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program (CAVP), a comprehensive guideline and tool for validating cryptographic algorithms. This program falls under the specific subcategory CT.DM-P9 within the broader core classification.
Key Points:
– The NIST CAVP provides a standardized framework for validating cryptographic algorithms
– It ensures that algorithms meet the necessary security requirements and standards
– The program is maintained and updated by NIST to keep pace with evolving cryptographic technologies
– The CAVP serves as both a guideline and a practical tool for organizations and researchers
– It helps maintain the integrity and security of cryptographic systems across various industries
The NIST CAVP was first introduced on January 16, 2020, and has since been updated on April 23, 2021.
