Summary
NIST has published seven documents in the SP 800-140x subseries--supporting documents for FIPS 140-3 and the Cryptographic Module Validation Program. Federal Information Processing Standards Publication (FIPS) 140-3, Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules, went into effect on September 22, 2019, permitting CMVP to begin accepting submissions from vendors under the new validation testing scheme in September 2020. The CMVP validation authority—comprised of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security—manages FIPS 140-3 validations.
