Announcement

This draft introduces four significant changes to NIST SP 800-140B:

  1. Defines a more detailed structure and organization for the Security Policy
  2. Captures Security Policy requirements that are defined outside of ISO/IEC 19790 and ISO/IEC 24759
  3. Builds the Security Policy document as a combination of the subsection information
  4. Generates the approved algorithm table based on lab/vendor selections from the algorithm tests

The NIST 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 ISO/IEC 19790 Annexes and ISO/IEC 24759 as permitted by the validation authority.
