Kim B. Schaffer

Abstract

NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-140D replaces the approved sensitive security parameter generation and establishment methods requirements of ISO/IEC 19790 Annex D. As a validation authority, the Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP) may supersede this Annex in its entirety. This document supersedes ISO/IEC 19790 Annex D and ISO/IEC 24759 paragraph 6.16.
