The MIP list contains cryptographic modules on which the CMVP is actively working on. For a module to transition from Pending Review to Review, the lab must first pay the NIST Cost Recovery fee, and then the report will be assigned as resources become available. The validation process is a joint effort between the CMVP, the laboratory and the vendor and therefore, for any given module, the action to respond could reside with the CMVP, the lab or the vendor. This list provides some granularity into which entity has the action. The various circumstances that can trigger "Hold" are stated in the FIPS 140-3 Management Manual, Section 4.3.4. For each submission, the status and the date it went into that state is listed. If you would like more information for a specific cryptographic module or its schedule, please contact the vendor. See Modules In Process page for additional details on the different module states.
