Common Criteria

The Common Criteria for Information Technology Security Evaluation (referred to as Common Criteria or CC) is an international standard (ISO/IEC 15408) for computer security certification.

See Cryptographic Module Testing Laboratory and Common Criteria

Common Criteria Testing Laboratory

The Common Criteria model provides for the separation of the roles of evaluator and certifier. Cryptographic Module Testing Laboratory and Common Criteria Testing Laboratory are computer security procedures and tests.

See Cryptographic Module Testing Laboratory and Common Criteria Testing Laboratory

Computer security

Computer security (also cybersecurity, digital security, or information technology (IT) security) is the protection of computer systems and networks from threats that may result in unauthorized information disclosure, theft of (or damage to) hardware, software, or data, as well as from the disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. Cryptographic Module Testing Laboratory and computer security are cryptography.

See Cryptographic Module Testing Laboratory and Computer security

Cryptographic Module Validation Program

The Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP) is a joint American and Canadian security accreditation program for cryptographic modules.

See Cryptographic Module Testing Laboratory and Cryptographic Module Validation Program

Evaluation Assurance Level

The Evaluation Assurance Level (EAL1 through EAL7) of an IT product or system is a numerical grade assigned following the completion of a Common Criteria security evaluation, an international standard in effect since 1999. Cryptographic Module Testing Laboratory and evaluation Assurance Level are computer security procedures.

Federal government of the United States

The federal government of the United States (U.S. federal government or U.S. government) is the national government of the United States, a federal republic located primarily in North America, composed of 50 states, five major self-governing territories, several island possessions, and the federal district/national capital of Washington, D.C., where most of the federal government is based.

FIPS 140

The 140 series of Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) are U.S. government computer security standards that specify requirements for cryptographic modules.

See Cryptographic Module Testing Laboratory and FIPS 140

FIPS 140-2

The Federal Information Processing Standard Publication 140-2, (FIPS PUB 140-2), is a U.S. government computer security standard used to approve cryptographic modules.

See Cryptographic Module Testing Laboratory and FIPS 140-2

FIPS 140-3

The Federal Information Processing Standard Publication 140-3 (FIPS PUB 140-3) is a U.S. government computer security standard used to approve cryptographic modules.

Hardware random number generator

In computing, a hardware random number generator (HRNG), true random number generator (TRNG), non-deterministic random bit generator (NRBG), or physical random number generator is a device that generates random numbers from a physical process capable of producing entropy (in other words, the device always has access to a physical entropy source), unlike the pseudorandom number generator (PRNG, a.k.a. Cryptographic Module Testing Laboratory and hardware random number generator are cryptography.

Information technology

Information technology (IT) is a set of related fields that encompass computer systems, software, programming languages, and data and information processing, and storage.

Key management

Key management refers to management of cryptographic keys in a cryptosystem. Cryptographic Module Testing Laboratory and key management are cryptography.

National Institute of Standards and Technology

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is an agency of the United States Department of Commerce whose mission is to promote American innovation and industrial competitiveness.

See Cryptographic Module Testing Laboratory and National Institute of Standards and Technology

National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program

National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) is a National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) program in the USA which provides an unbiased third-party test and evaluation program to accredit laboratories in their respective fields to the ISO/IEC 17025 standard.

See Cryptographic Module Testing Laboratory and National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program

Physical security

Physical security describes security measures that are designed to deny unauthorized access to facilities, equipment, and resources and to protect personnel and property from damage or harm (such as espionage, theft, or terrorist attacks).

See Cryptographic Module Testing Laboratory and Physical security

Protection Profile

A Protection Profile (PP) is a document used as part of the certification process according to ISO/IEC 15408 and the Common Criteria (CC). Cryptographic Module Testing Laboratory and Protection Profile are computer security procedures.

See Cryptographic Module Testing Laboratory and Protection Profile

Role-based access control

In computer systems security, role-based access control (RBAC) or role-based security is an approach to restricting system access to authorized users, and to implementing mandatory access control (MAC) or discretionary access control (DAC).

See Cryptographic Module Testing Laboratory and Role-based access control

Trusted Computer System Evaluation Criteria

Trusted Computer System Evaluation Criteria (TCSEC) is a United States Government Department of Defense (DoD) standard that sets basic requirements for assessing the effectiveness of computer security controls built into a computer system.

See Cryptographic Module Testing Laboratory and Trusted Computer System Evaluation Criteria

United States

The United States of America (USA or U.S.A.), commonly known as the United States (US or U.S.) or America, is a country primarily located in North America.
