Abstract

NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-140Br1 is to be used in conjunction with ISO/IEC 19790 Annex B and ISO/IEC 24759 Section 6.14. This Special Publication modifies only those requirements identified in this document. NIST SP 800-140Br1 also specifies the content of the information required in ISO/IEC 19790 Annex B. As a validation authority, the Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP) may modify, add, or delete Vendor Evidence (VE) and/or Test Evidence (TE) specified under paragraph 6.14 of the ISO/IEC 24759 and specify the order of the security policy as stated in ISO/IEC 19790:2012 B.1.
