The NIST NCCoE is initiating a project to demonstrate the value and practicality of automation support for the current Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP). The outcome of the project is intended to be improvement in the efficiency and timeliness of CMVP operation and processes. This effort is one of a series of activities focused on automation of CMVP testing and data flow, and it follows the successful completion of the automation of the Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program (CAVP), the automation of the processing of the cryptographic testing evidence, and the rollout of Web CRYPTIK, an application for submitting results to the CMVP. This project description documents the project background, a proposed scenario to be demonstrated, a high-level demonstration platform architecture with a list of desired components, and standards and guidance to be followed in project development and execution. The results of the demonstration project will inform the operational integration and deployment of automation in the NIST CMVP.
