Announcement

The NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-140x series supports Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) Publication 140-3, Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules, and its associated validation testing program, the Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP). The series specifies modifications to the derived test requirements (DTR) for FIPS 140-3 and is used in conjunction with ISO/IEC 24759.

Updates to the following publications within the subseries are now available for public comment:

  • Draft NIST SP 800-140C Rev. 1, CMVP Approved Security Functions: CMVP Validation Authority Updates to ISO/IEC 24759
  • Draft NIST SP 800-140D Rev. 1, CMVP Approved Sensitive Security Parameter Generation and Establishment Methods: CMVP Validation Authority Updates to ISO/IEC 24759
  • Draft NIST SP 800-140F Rev. 1, CMVP Approved Non-Invasive Attack Mitigation Test Metrics: CMVP Validation Authority Updates to ISO/IEC 2475
