ISO/IEC 19790 is an ISO/IEC standard for security requirements for cryptographic modules. It addresses a wide range of issues regarding their implementation, including specifications, interface definitions, authentication, operational and physical security, configuration management, testing, and life-cycle management.[1] The first version of ISO/IEC 19790 was derived from the U.S. government computer security standard FIPS 140-2, Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules.[2]
As of 2023[update], the current version of the standard is ISO/IEC 19790:2012.[3] This replaces a previous version, ISO/IEC 19790:2006, which is now obsolete.[4]
Use of ISO/IEC 19790 is referenced in the U.S. government standard FIPS 140-3.[5] As an ISO/IEC standard, access to it requires payment, typically on a per-user basis.[5]
ISO/IEC 24759 is a related standard for the testing of cryptographic modules,[6] the first version of which derived from NIST's Derived Test Requirements for FIPS PUB 140-2, Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules.[2]
