What is the NIST cryptographic algorithm validation program (CAVP)?
What exactly is the National Institute of Standards and Technology's Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program (CAVP)? This program appears to play a crucial role in the world of cryptography, specifically with regards to the verification of approved cryptographic algorithms. It seems that through CAVP, various cryptographic algorithms and their components undergo rigorous testing to ensure their validity and adherence to set standards. Vendors are allowed to utilize accredited testing laboratories to have their algorithm implementations tested, and upon successful validation by NIST, these implementations are then added to a validation list. Could you elaborate on the significance of this program and how it contributes to the overall security and trustworthiness of cryptographic algorithms?
