Conformance is managed through the Cryptographic Module Validation (CMV) Program under NIST's Computer Security Resource Center (CSRC). Independent testing laboratories like Entrust CygnaCom perform conformance testing.
NIAP - National Information Assurance Partnership. This NIST organization manages validation testing against the Common Criteria. Independent testing laboratories like Entrust CygnaCom perform validation testing.
Common Criteria - An international security standard for describing security parameters. The Common Criteria prescribes an evaluation methodology for validating security claims expressed within the framework of the standard. The Common Criteria is aligned with International Standard ISO/IEC 15408:1999.
