[04-23-2012] -- Validation of Transitioning Cryptographic Algorithms and Key Lengths

The Implementation Guidance for FIPS PUB 140-2 and the Cryptographic Module Validation Program  has been updated to include IG G.14 which addresses how the validation of cryptographic algorithms by the CAVP and the validation of cryptographic modules by the CMVP will be affected during the transition as specified in SP 800-131A. This transition guidance was originally drafted as SP800-131B but has been moved to the CMVP Implementation Guidance IG G.14.

[04-23-2012] -- Validating the Transition from FIPS 186-2 to FIPS 186-3

The Implementation Guidance for FIPS PUB 140-2 and the Cryptographic Module Validation Program has been updated to include IG G.15 which addresses the transition plan specific to the validation of FIPS 186-2 and FIPS 186-3. This transition plan addresses both the cryptographic algorithm validations and the cryptographic module validations that are conducted by the CAVP and CMVP, respectively. This transition guidance was originally drafted as SP800-131C but has been moved to the CMVP Implementation Guidance IG G.15
