On Wednesday, January 19, 2005 the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the General Services Administration (GSA) co-sponsored an all day meeting to hear and collect public comments regarding Homeland Security Presidential Directive-12 (HSPD-12). HSPD-12 mandates the issuance of a standard identification card to all federal employees and contractors doing long-term business with the federal government. There were approximately 200 meeting attendees. Meeting Minutes Agenda and Presentations SESSION 1 (8:30am -- 12:00pm) Opening Remarks Karen S. Evans, OMB GROUP ONE: Privacy Policy...

[01-30-17] -- New release of the CAVS algorithm validation testing tool to the CST Laboratories (CAVS21.2). The following modifications have been made: CAVS would become unresponsive if Modify New Submission was selected several times. This has been corrected. On the Modify New Submission screen, some words were not displayed fully. This has been corrected. The algorithm validation numbers are now checked to assure they are numeric. If they are not, an error message is displayed. When preparing change request, if any information was updated EXCEPT the implementation type...

These are reference sources for frameworks, algorithms validation, software assurance, testing, and other measurements related to information security. Automated Combinatorial Testing for Software Combinatorial or t-way testing is a proven method for more effective software testing at lower cost. The research toolkit can make sure that there are no simultaneous input combinations that might inadvertently cause a dangerous error. Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program (CAVP) The NIST Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program provides validation testing of Approved (i.e.,...
