Our service

• Validation according to FIPS PUB 140-2 – Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules
• Validation of crypto algorithms approved by NIST
• Advisory services regarding FIPS 140-2 requirements and their fulfillment
• Support in adapting your existing module documentation so as to conform with FIPS 140-2
• Advisory services regarding crypto module design and/or new drafting of documentation (This means that the corresponding crypto module(s) cannot be validated by TÜViT)

Benefits/Usefulness to you

• Inspection and testing of your implementation according to the de facto international standard for crypto modules 
• Scalability of functional and test requirements by means of the four security levels which can be selected

• Certification of your module by the Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP) which is operated by NIST/USA and CSE/Canada (CMVP)
• Certification of your implemented crypto algothrithms by the Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program (CAVP) operated by NIST (USA)

The procedure

• Introductory workshop in order to explain the requirements and their fulfillment by the crypto module (optional) 
• Validation of the relevant algorithm implementations (within the framework of a module test or independently of such a test) 
• Validation of the crypto module and its documentation

The objective

• Issue of a certificate for your crypto module
• Issue of certificates for your algorithm implementations 
• Explicit fulfillment of customer requirements (e.g. requirements of US American or Canadian authorities) 
• Use of the certification as an effective marketing instrument
