atsec information security completes the CAVP cryptographic algorithm testing for Watchdata
2011-05-12Beijing, China – atsec information security is pleased to announce that the cryptographic algorithms implemented in the Watchdata-FIPS-TimeCOS Hardware Cryptographic Library were tested by atsec information security and validated under the CAVP (Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program) by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology).
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.
