Excerpt
Abstract: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Modes of Operation Validation System (MOVS) specifies the procedures involved in validating implementations of the DES algorithm in FIPS PUB 46-2 The Data Encryption Standard (DES) and the Skipjack algorithm in FIPS PUB 185, Escrowed Encryption Standard (ESS). The MOVS is designed to perform automated testing on Implementations Under Test (IUTs). This publication provides brief overviews of the DES and Skipjack algorithms and introduces the basic design and configuration of the MOVS. Included in this overview are the specifications for the two categories of tests which make up the MOVS, i.e., the Known Answer tests and the Modes tests. The requirements and administrative procedures to be followed by those seeking formal NIST validation of an implementation of the DES or Skipjack algorithm are presented. The requirements described include the specific protocols for communication between the IUT and the MOVS, the types of tests which the IUT?
