Statement</h4> <div id="mission-statement">We advance information security testing, measurement science, and conformance.</div> <h4>Overview</h4> <p id="overview"><p>Federal agencies, industry, and the public rely on cryptography for the protection of information and communications used in electronic commerce, critical infrastructure, and other application areas. When protecting their sensitive data, federal government agencies require a minimum level of assurance that cryptographic products meet their security requirements. Federal agencies are also required to use only tested and validated cryptographic modules. Adequate testing and validation of the cryptographic module and its underlying cryptographic algorithms against established standards is essential to provide security assurance.</p> <p>The Security Testing, Validation, and Measurement (STVM) Group’s testing-focused activities include validating cryptographic algorithm implementations, cryptographic modules, and Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP)-compliant products; developing test suites and test methods; providing implementation guidance and technical support to industry forums; and conducting education, training, and outreach programs. All of the STVM's validation programs work together with independent Cryptographic and Security Testing laboratories that are accredited by the NIST National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP). Based on the independent laboratory test report and test evidence, the Validation Program then validates the implementation under test. The validations awarded to vendor implementations are publicly posted on the NIST website.<br/> <br/> <strong style="box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: "Source Sans Pro", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16.96px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><em style="box-sizing: border-box;"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220705190822/https://www.nist.gov/staff/information-technology-laboratory/computer-security-division" style="box-sizing: border-box; background-color: transparent; color: rgb(51, 122, 183); text-decoration-line: none;">Staff Listing and Profiles</a></em></strong></p> </p> </div> <div class="col-lg-4 col-md-12"> </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-12 historical-data-area" id="historical-data-area"> <span>Created <span id="page-created-date">May 24, 2016</span>, Updated <span id="page-updated-date">March 10, 2022</span></span> </div> </div> <div id="footer-pusher"></div> </div> <footer id="footer"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-6"> <span class="hidden-xs"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220705190822/https://www.nist.gov/" title="National Institute of Standards and Technology" rel="home" target="_blank" class="footer-nist-logo" id="footer-nist-logo-link"> <img src="/web/20220705190822im_/https://csrc.nist.gov/CSRC/Media/images/logo_rev.png" alt="National Institute of Standards and Technology logo" id="footer-nist-logo"/> </a> </span> <div class="row footer-contact-container"> <div class="col-sm-12" id="footer-address"> <strong>HEADQUARTERS</strong><br> 100 Bureau Drive<br> Gaithersburg, MD 20899 </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-sm-6"> <ul class="social-list text-right" style="display: block;"> <li class="field-item service-twitter list-horiz"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220705190822/https://twitter.com/NISTCyber" class="social-btn social-btn--large extlink ext" id="footer-social-twitter-link"> <i class="fa fa-twitter fa-fw"><span class="element-invisible">twitter</span></i><span class="ext"><span class="element-invisible"> (link is external)</span></span> </a> </li> <li class="field-item service-facebook list-horiz"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220705190822/https://www.facebook.com/NIST" class="social-btn social-btn--large extlink ext" id="footer-social-facebook-link"> <i class="fa fa-facebook fa-fw"><span class="element-invisible">facebook</span></i><span class="ext"><span class="element-invisible"> (link is external)</span></span> </a> </li> <li class="field-item service-linkedin list-horiz"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220705190822/https://www.linkedin.com/company/nist" class="social-btn social-btn--large extlink ext" id="footer-social-linkedin-link"> <i class="fa fa-linkedin fa-fw"><span class="element-invisible">linkedin</span></i><span class="ext"><span class="element-invisible"> (link is external)</span></span> </a> </li> <li class="field-item service-instagram list-horiz"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220705190822/https://www.instagram.com/usnistgov/" class="social-btn social-btn--large extlink ext" id="footer-social-instagram-link"> <i class="fa fa-instagram fa-fw"><span class="element-invisible">instagram</span></i> <span class="ext"><span class="element-invisible"> (link is external)</span></span> </a> </li> <li class="field-item service-youtube list-horiz"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220705190822/https://www.youtube.com/user/USNISTGOV" class="social-btn social-btn--large extlink ext" id="footer-social-youtube-link"> <i class="fa fa-youtube fa-fw"><span class="element-invisible">youtube</span></i><span class="ext"><span class="element-invisible"> (link is external)</span></span> </a> </li> <li class="field-item service-rss list-horiz"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220705190822/https://www.nist.gov/news-events/nist-rss-feeds" class="social-btn social-btn--large extlink" id="footer-social-rss-link"> <i class="fa fa-rss fa-fw"><span class="element-invisible">rss</span></i> </a> </li> <li class="field-item service-govdelivery list-horiz last"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220705190822/https://public.govdelivery.com/accounts/USNIST/subscriber/new?qsp=USNIST_3" class="social-btn social-btn--large extlink ext" title="Subscribe to CSRC and publication updates, and other NIST cybersecurity news" id="footer-social-govdelivery-link"> <i class="fa fa-envelope fa-fw"><span class="element-invisible">govdelivery</span></i><span class="ext"><span class="element-invisible"> (link is external)</span></span> </a> </li> </ul> <p class="text-right"> Want updates about CSRC and our publications?
