atsec information security completes the CAVP cryptographic algorithm testing for Watchdata
The implemented algorithms of Watchdata-FIPS-TimeCOS Hardware Cryptographic Library and their validation numbers are as follows:
TDES, CMAC (No.1057)
AES (No.1616)
SHA (No.1425)
RSA (No.794)
DRBG (No.85)
More product and manufacturer information can be obtained from the validation list on the CAVP’s official website: http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cavp/validation.html
The team members of both parties will continue to work together on FIPS 140-2 Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP) testing and validation.
The CAVP was established by NIST in July, 1995. It encompasses validation testing for FIPS-approved and NIST recommended cryptographic algorithms and components of algorithms. The cryptographic algorithm validation is a prerequisite to the FIPS140-2 validation testing under the CMVP.
