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.
See Cryptographic Module Testing Laboratory and Evaluation Assurance Level
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.
See Cryptographic Module Testing Laboratory and FIPS 140-3
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.
See Cryptographic Module Testing Laboratory and Information technology
Key management
Key management refers to management of cryptographic keys in a cryptosystem. Cryptographic Module Testing Laboratory and key management are cryptography.
See Cryptographic Module Testing Laboratory and Key management
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.
