Title of Standard:: Information technology - Security techniques - Cryptographic algorithms and security mechanisms conformance testing

Scope Summary:: Gives guidelines for cryptographic algorithms and security mechanisms conformance testing methods. Conformance testing assures that an implementation of a cryptographic algorithm or security mechanism is correct whether implemented in hardware, software or firmware. It also confirms that it runs correctly in a specific operating environment. Testing can consist of known-answer or Monte Carlo testing, or a combination of test methods. Testing can be performed on the actual implementation or modelled in a simulation environment.
