Abstract
NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-140E replaces the approved authentication mechanism requirements of ISO/IEC 19790 Annex E. As a validation authority, the Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP) may supersede this Annex in its entirety with its own list of approved authentication mechanisms. This document supersedes ISO/IEC 19790 Annex E and ISO/IEC 24759 paragraph 6.17.
