Scope:

This document specifies the non-invasive attack mitigation test metrics for determining conformance to the requirements specified in ISO/IEC 19790:2012 for security levels 3 and 4. The test metrics are associated with the security functions addressed in ISO/IEC 19790:2012. Testing is conducted at the defined boundary of the cryptographic module and the inputs/outputs available at its defined boundary.

 

This document is intended to be used in conjunction with ISO/IEC 24759:2017 to demonstrate conformance to ISO/IEC 19790:2012. 

NOTE ISO/IEC 24759:2017 specifies the test methods used by testing laboratories to assess whether the cryptographic module conforms to the requirements specified in ISO/IEC 19790:2012 and the test metrics specified in this document for each of the associated security functions addressed in ISO/IEC 19790:2012.

 

The test approach employed in this document is an efficient “push-button” approach, i.e. the tests are technically sound, repeatable and have moderate costs.

Project need:

To align Canadian requirements with those of international standards in the ICT subject area) adoption of new standard. This proposed New Edition is being developed at the request P125 Technical Committee on Cybersecurity. It will provide the industry with the latest requirements in the field of ICT including cybersecurity and software.

Note: The information provided above was obtained by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) and is provided as part of a centralized, transparent notification system for new standards development. The system allows SCC-accredited Standards Development Organizations (SDOs), and members of the public, to be informed of new work in Canadian standards development, and allows SCC-accredited SDOs to identify and resolve potential duplication of standards and effort.

Individual SDOs are responsible for the content and accuracy of the information presented here. The text is presented in the language in which it was provided to SCC.
