FIPS203Cert: CMVP-Labortests, Security-Policy-Spezifikationen & FIPS 140-3

FIPS203Cert stellt die automatisierten Testumgebungen, formalen Verifizierungssammlungen und Konformitätsdokumentationen bereit, die für die Zertifizierung von Krypto-Software- und Hardware-Modulen nach NIST FIPS 140-3 und dem Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program (CAVP) erforderlich sind.

Core cryptographic topology and protocol interaction of fips203cert.com

Central System: CMVP Test Rig - FIPS 140-3 Boundary

Cryptographic Nodes

  • CAVP Vectors
  • DPA / SPA Rig
  • Zeroization Test
  • Formal Proof
  • Entropy Source

Architectural Layers & Protocols

  • Algorithm Validation Suite (CAVP) (ACVP (Automated Cryptographic Validation Protocol) JSON API): Running thousands of Known Answer Tests (KAT) covering all ML-KEM parameter sets
  • Side-Channel Resistance Testing (Differential Power Analysis (DPA) & Electromagnetic Analysis (EMA)): Ensuring polynomial arithmetic does not leak secret keys via physical measurements
  • Physical Security & Zeroization Verification (Hardware Tamper-Detection & Active Key Erasure Circuits): Verifying that private keys are completely wiped upon intrusion detection or power loss
  • Module Life-Cycle & Cryptographic Officer Roles (Security Policy Enforcement and Operational Role Separation): Documenting cryptographic boundary, finite state machine, and administrative controls

Key Metrics: FIPS 140-3 (Target Security Standard) | 100% (CAVP Test Vector Pass Rate) | Level 3/4 (Physical Security Target) | SP 800-90B (Entropy Source Validation)

Von der Quellcode-Implementierung zur akkreditierten FIPS-140-3-Validierung

A mathematically sound algorithm can fail in production if its implementation leaks secrets via power fluctuations, electromagnetic radiation, or timing variations. FIPS203Cert guides vendors through CAVP test vector validation and CMVP lab accreditation.
