Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types of document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives or www.iec.ch/members_experts/refdocs ).

ISO and IEC draw attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a) patent(s). ISO and IEC take no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO and IEC had not received notice of (a) patent(s) which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at www.iso.org/patents and https://patents.iec.ch . ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

This document was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1, Information technology, Subcommittee SC 27, Information security, cybersecurity and privacy protection.

This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition (ISO/IEC 24759:2017), which has been technically revised.

The main changes are as follows:

• new terminology has been added;
• ASs, VEs and TEs have been updated according to ISO/IEC 19790:2025; and
• VEs and TEs have been corrected or updated to improve efficiency.

Introduction

In information technology there is an ever-increasing need to use cryptographic mechanisms, such as for the protection of data against unauthorized disclosure or manipulation, for entity authentication, and for non-repudiation. The security and reliability of such mechanisms are directly dependent on the cryptographic modules in which they are implemented.

ISO/IEC 19790 provides four increasing, qualitative levels of security requirements intended to cover a wide range of potential applications and environments. The cryptographic techniques are identical over the four security levels defined in this document. The security requirements cover areas relative to the design and implementation of a cryptographic module. These areas include:

• cryptographic module specification;
• cryptographic module interfaces;
• roles, services and authentication;
• software/firmware security;
• operational environment;
• physical security;
• non-invasive security;
• sensitive security parameter management;
• self-tests;
• life-cycle assurance; and
• mitigation of other attacks.

This document specifies the test requirements for cryptographic modules conforming to ISO/IEC 19790:2025.

1 Scope

This document specifies the methods to be used by testing laboratories to test whether the cryptographic module conforms to the requirements specified in ISO/IEC 19790:2025. The methods are developed to provide a high degree of objectivity during the testing process and to ensure consistency across the testing laboratories.

This document also specifies the information that vendors are required to provide testing laboratories as supporting evidence to demonstrate their cryptographic modules’ conformity to the requirements specified in ISO/IEC 19790:2025.

Vendors can also use this document to verify whether their cryptographic modules satisfy the requirements specified in ISO/IEC 19790:2025 before applying to a testing laboratory for testing.
