Based on a CMVP notice from <a href="http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp/notices.html">November 2015</a>, we
know that starting in 2017 the CMVP will move all 140-1 certificates and any 140-2
certificates older than 5 years to the <a href="http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp/documents/140-1/140val-historical.htm">Historical
List</a>. The goal is to keep current, valid crypto modules in circulation
amongst federal agencies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Remember that
the Historical List is a “do not buy” list for US federal government procurement
purposes. The previous policy was such that the 5 year clock would start
running from the last date that a certificate was modified.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Between now and February 1, 2017, minor
updates, such as updating vendor contact information or the module name, will
reset the 5 year clock. However, after February 1, 2017, the policy is such that
any validation submission that is a maintenance effort (i.e., submissions that
are 1, 2, and 4 SUB submissions in CMVP speak) would NOT reset the 5 year
running clock. With this change, vendors have the rest of 2016 to complete a minor
update effort that would extend the life of their certificates. After that, in
order to stay off of the Historical List, it must be proven that the module
meets all current guidance.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Another topic to be aware of is that rebranding of an OEM
module (1SUB scenario A submissions) will be under much more scrutiny by labs
and CMVP reviewers when this policy goes into effect. It will have to be
demonstrated that the rebranded module meets all current guidance. Alternatively,
the CMVP may choose to only accept 1SUB scenario A submissions within a certain
amount of time from the original OEM validation date. CMVP will provide further
clarification as it relates to how they will accept rebranded modules.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We can expect an update to the validation sunsetting policy
on the CMVP website soon.</div>

<br />
The first describes a new policy in which FIPS <a href="http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp/documents/140-1/140val-all.htm">validation certificates</a> older than 5 years will be moved to a "Legacy Validation List". The Legacy Validation list is not to be used for procurement by federal agencies. This policy becomes effective January 1st, 2017. <br />
<br />
This new policy will certainly have a large impact on our government agencies who will potentially be in violation of <a href="http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/SMA/fisma/">FISMA</a> when this policy takes affect. In a way this is a good thing, though. It keeps dated technology not up to current security guidelines from protecting sensitive information within our government.<br />
<br />
For product vendors, there is a process to keep older modules off of this legacy list, but it does involve working with the labs to demonstrate that the module is compliant with all current standards and <a href="http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp/documents/fips140-2/FIPS1402IG.pdf">implementation guidance</a>. This work would need to take place prior to January 1, 2017. I suggest that you begin this work now. In some cases, depending on when the module was validated, it may be a large undertaking to demonstrate that all current guidance is being adhered to. <br />
<br />
The second notice of interest relates to the RNG transition. We know that RNG's will no longer be considered Approved for key generation at the end of this year. Any module that has an RNG will be moved to the same Legacy Validation List described above. The CMVP has allowed for updating these modules through a 1SUB like process ("bug fix" or "maintenance letter" process). This will allow for an efficient and timely process for keeping these modules off of the legacy list.<br />
<br />
Here is the link to the notices (again):<br />

on using ISO/IEC standards for cryptographic
algorithm and cryptographic module testing, conformance, and validation
activities, currently specified by Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2.<br />
<br />
The responses to this request will be used to plan possible changes to the FIPS standard or in a decision to use all or part of <a class="external" href="http://www.iso.org/iso/home/store/catalogue_tc/catalogue_detail.htm?csnumber=52906">ISO/IEC 19790:2012</a>, <em>Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules</em>, for testing, conformance and validation of cryptographic algorithms and modules. <br />

</xml><![endif]-->The comment period is 45 days (<strong>September 28, 2015) </strong>and all are encouraged to provide feedback. Seeing as though the next revision of the FIPS standard is long overdue, the hope is that the comments that are provided help NIST converge on a solution. Even if not all aspects of the current ISO standard are perfect, it is still a big improvement compared to continuing to test to FIPS 140-2.
Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08571242151612875416noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3750052949981007350.post-53516747830685269882015-05-29T16:55:00.000-07:002015-06-01T11:25:14.956-07:00Urgent: CMVP Guidance Effective ImmediatelyThis morning, the CMVP released a notice to all labs acknowledging that not all <a href="http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/nistpubs/800-90A/SP800-90A.pdf">SP 800-90A</a> DRBG implementations submitted for validation have been entirely compliant with the SP 800-90A standard. <br />
<br />
Specifically, Section 11.3 of the standard requires that certain health checks be performed. It was not always clear that these health checks were required for CMVP validation. In fact, based on some interpretations, wording within SP800-90A itself would leave some to believe that they were, indeed, not required.<br />
<br />
The CMVP's stance, based on guidance from the Cryptographic Technology Group, is now that these health checks are absolutely required in order to claim that a DRBG implementation is compliant to 800-90. This guidance is effective <b><i>IMMEDIATELY</i></b>, and even impacts modules that are currently in the queue and in the Coordination phase.<br />
<br />
For reports currently in the queue where the module does not implement a compliant DRBG, the lab is to notify the CMVP to put the submission on HOLD until the DRBG implementation comes into compliance and is tested by the lab.<br />
(<b>UPDATE as of 6/1/15</b> - For reports in the queue where the module does NOT implement the health checks, the lab is still to notify the CMVP to place the report on HOLD, but there are two options for moving forward. One, is to bring the module into compliance and resubmit the report with all appropriate test evidence. Or two, is to rework the validation documentation and report to show the DRBG implementation as Non-Compliant. This would include identifying all services within the SP and report that utilize the non-compliant DRBG. The lab can resubmit the reworked SP and report to the CMVP and the validation will proceed accordingly).<br />
<br />
If your particular module is impacted by this, make the appropriate changes now and work with your lab to have them tested (i.e. operational tested and/or code reviewed).<br />

Congratulations to the FIPS Team at <a href="http://www.infogard.com/" target="_blank">InfoGard Laboratories</a>. That's 6 years in a row of producing the most FIPS 140-2 certificates (2009-2014).Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08571242151612875416noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3750052949981007350.post-58989923590190210332014-12-05T00:00:00.000-08:002014-12-05T00:00:00.801-08:00The RNG Transition is Coming!<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The RNG transition in 2016 is fast approaching. Is your cryptographic module prepared? </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Per the <a href="http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/nistpubs/800-131A/sp800-131A.pdf">SP800-131A</a> transition guidance, the following is stated in regards to the RNG transition:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">"The use of the RNGs specified in FIPS 186-2, [X9.31] and [X9.62] is deprecated from 2011 through December 31, 2015, <b>and disallowed after 2015</b>".</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Put
simply, if a module utilizes one of the Random Number Generators (RNGs) in
question for the purposes of key generation, <b>the module will no longer have a
compliant key generation method starting in January 2016</b>. All cryptographic
keys generated using the disallowed RNG will no longer be considered Approved.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">This will not only affect
future validations but be<b> retroactive</b> for all currently validated cryptographic
modules. Although CMVP would not confirm
their specific course of action on January 1, 2016, we do know that a large
percentage of FIPS 140-2 validated modules will be without a compliant
mechanism to generate approved cryptographic keys, placing agencies using these
cryptographic modules in a precarious position as they are required to use FIPS
validated cryptographic modules. Without
updates to this functionality, <b>federal agencies would be in direct violation of
FISMA 2002</b>. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span></span><br />
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">So what are your options? If you are currently
in the process, or plan to undergo FIPS 140-2 validation testing on a new
module in the near future, you will need to ensure that your RNG is one defined
in <a href="http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/nistpubs/800-90A/SP800-90A.pdf">Special Publication 800-90A</a>. If you already
have a FIPS 140-2 validated product and that device implements one or more of
the soon to be disallowed RNGs, you will need to undergo <b>revalidation testing</b>
with an approved RNG in order to maintain your validation.</span></span></span><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

It's a good sign for the remainder of the year and heading into 2015. The CMVP was able to reduce the queue from 8-9 months last year to 3-4 months this year amid all of the <a href="http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/nistpubs/800-131A/sp800-131A.pdf">algorithm transitions</a> that took place, not an easy task. Next year should be a breeze comparatively. </span></div>

<br />
<b>I am so fortunate to have been part of the best Cryptographic Security Testing Laboratory these past 400 weeks</b> (my InfoGard start date was January 2, 2007). I wanted to stay at least 500 weeks, but I ended up accepting an opportunity to join <a href="http://wolfssl.com/" target="_blank">wolfSSL </a>to help change the security world in a different way.<br />
<br />
Yes, I will dearly miss my awesome co-workers and customers. The security world is a small place so I expect to keep in touch with many of you. Please send me a connection request on LinkedIn:<br />

The CMVP posted a <a href="http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp/standards.html" target="_blank">proposed draft of FIPS 140-4</a> today. This draft includes a warning statement that vendors are <b>strongly </b>advised not to design to requirements of draft FIPS 140-4 if they conflict with the requirements of FIPS 140-2.<br />
<br />
(sigh)<br />
<br />
<b>Let's recap where we stand with FIPS 140-4:</b><br />
<br />
<ol>
<li><b>No schedule.</b> The <a href="http://fips140.blogspot.com/2014/04/fips-140-3-is-dead.html" target="_blank">Division Chief position at NIST has still not been "officially" filled.</a> Expect no progress or schedule before the new Division Chief is announced.</li>
<li><b>No surprise.</b> The FIPS 140-4 draft is <a href="http://fips140.blogspot.com/2014/03/build-your-own-fips-140-3-survival-kit.html" target="_blank">an 11 page document that points to ISO/IEC 19790:2012.</a> </li>
<li><b>No overlap. </b>If you are the proactive type, do not jump to the draft standard too early. Meeting a FIPS 140-4 requirement will not allow you a free pass on an annoying FIPS 140-2 requirement if they conflict.<b> </b> </li>
</ol>
<div>
The Vendor and Lab communities need to become more active in driving FIPS 140-4. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>QUESTION: "How can I positively influence the adoption of FIPS 140-4?"</b> </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>ANSWER: </b>Contact Charles Romine, the Director of the Information Technology Laboratory at NIST. In the FOREWORD section of the FIPS 140-4 draft, the Director welcomes all comments. (A physical address is provided in the draft but a quick search on nist.gov shows the following e-mail for Dr. Romine: <a href="mailto:charles.romine@nist.gov" style="background-color: white; color: steelblue; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 17.280000686645508px; text-decoration: none;">charles.romine@nist.gov</a>)</div>
<br />
<br />
<i>Make <b>"FIPS 140-4 Feedback"</b> the subject of your e-mail.</i><br />
<br />
<b>Here are some things to think about when crafting your feedback to the Director:</b><br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>With the current 13 year-old FIPS 140-2 standard, will you be satisfied testing your future products to those aging requirements?</li>
<li>Can you make the world a better place for government agencies by designing your products to more relevant requirements?</li>
<li>Share your development lead times with the Director. Express how important it is for you to understand (and plan for) requirement changes.</li>
</ol>

I often receive questions about maintaining a FIPS 140-2 certificate after changes are made to the module. Here is some information from the trenches for those not familiar with the process.<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoPlainText">
There are 5 different scenarios when making changes to a cryptographic module. I'll cover the 3 most common. Additional details are found in the <a href="http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp/documents/fips140-2/FIPS1402IG.pdf">FIPS 140-2 Implementation Guidance</a> document, G.8. </div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<b style="color: red;">1SUB</b> - Modifications are made to hardware, software or firmware components<b> that do not affect any FIPS 140-2 security relevant items</b>. The vendor is responsible for providing the applicable documentation to the CST laboratory, which identifies the modification(s).</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="color: #274e13;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
[Mark Minnoch] A "1SUB" (say "one-sub") is a "maintenance" or "bug-fix" activity for the Lab. As an example, let's consider the case of a vendor making source code changes only. The Lab reviews the source code to determine if any of the changes are security relevant. If the Lab confirms the changes are not security relevant, then a letter request is submitted to the CMVP to include the updated firmware (or software) version on the existing FIPS certificate. <b>Note</b>: A NIST fee is not required.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>There are two (relatively new) alternative scenarios for 1SUBs. </b> Alternative Scenario 1A allows for rebranding of an already validated OEM module. Alternative Scenario 1B allows a different Lab than the original testing Lab to review the non-security relevant changes to the module. <b>Note</b>: A NIST fee is applicable for Alternative Scenarios 1A and 1B.</blockquote>
</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<b><span style="color: red;">3SUB </span></b>- Modifications are made to hardware, software or firmware components <b>that affect some of the FIPS 140-2 security relevant items</b>. An updated cryptographic module can be considered in this scenario if it is similar to the original module with only minor changes in the security policy and FSM, and less than 30% of the module's security relevant features.</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="color: #274e13;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
[Mark Minnoch] For a "3SUB" change, the Laboratory updates the previous report submission to include the changes and also to confirm that the required regression testing was completed. This testing is more involved than a 1SUB but typically less effort than a new validation. The Lab considers service changes, algorithm changes, hardware changes, etc. in determining the 30% threshold limit for security relevant changes. <b>Note</b>: A NIST fee is not required for a 3SUB submitted before August 1, 2014. <a href="http://fips140.blogspot.com/2014/06/save-2000-on-your-fips-project.html" target="_blank">A $2000 NIST fee is applicable for a 3SUB submitted on or after August 1, 2014.</a></blockquote>
</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<b style="color: red;">5SUB </b>- If modifications are made to hardware, software, or firmware components <b>that do not meet the above criteria</b>, then the cryptographic module will be considered a new module and must undergo a full validation testing by a CST laboratory.</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText" style="color: #274e13;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
[Mark Minnoch] A "5SUB" is commonly referred to as a "validation" or "full validation." The Laboratory submits a full validation test report package after completing all of the testing tasks. <b>Note</b>: A NIST fee is applicable.</blockquote>

Let's all agree to stop referring to "FIPS 140-3" as the next revision of FIPS 140-2. <br />
<br />
Instead, let's use <b>"FIPS 140-4"</b> to identify the follow-on standard that the United States Department of Commerce will eventually approve.<br />
<br />
Here are the<i> latest developments </i>and <i>my projections </i>for FIPS 140-4:<br />
<ul>
<li>The Division Chief of NIST's Computer Security Division has moved into a new role. <a href="http://csrc.nist.gov/staff/rolodex/scholl_matthew.html" target="_blank">Matthew Scholl is now the Acting Division Chief</a>.</li>
<li>Since Matt Scholl is serving in an "Acting" role, expect no progress on FIPS 140-4 until the Division Chief role is officially filled. (NOTE: This is absolutely no dig on Matt -- he understands the FIPS 140 revision history <u>very </u>well and I imagine he is being asked to focus on other matters as Acting Division Chief)</li>
<li>I suspect the new Division Chief will have someone in NIST put a bow on <a href="http://fips140.blogspot.com/2014/03/build-your-own-fips-140-3-survival-kit.html" target="_blank">ISO/IEC 19790:2012 and present it as FIPS 140-4</a> to the Secretary of Commerce for signature.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>With these developments and projections in mind, here is my guess at a FIPS 140-4 schedule:</b></div>

The Q&A section at <a href="http://heartbleed.com/">Heartbleed.com</a> states that <i>"OpenSSL Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) mode has no effect on the vulnerable heartbeat functionality."</i><br />
<br />
Although the OpenSSL FIPS module does not mitigate the heartbeat vulnerability, it is also important to note that the vulnerability exists outside of the OpenSSL FIPS cryptographic module boundary. <br />
<br />
The vulnerability affects TLS implementations in <a href="http://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20140407.txt" target="_blank">certain OpenSSL libraries</a>.<br />

As of this post, no formal announcement has been made on the replacement standard to <a href="http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/fips/fips140-2/fips1402.pdf" target="_blank">FIPS 140-2</a>. Be sure to <a href="http://fips140.blogspot.com/2014/03/build-your-own-fips-140-3-survival-kit.html" target="_blank">read the first post</a> for proper context.<br />
<br />
For Technology Vendors in the planning phase for future products, here are 8 important requirements that are likely to change from the current FIPS 140-2 requirements:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li><b>EMI/EMC testing</b> - there are no EMI/EMC requirements in ISO 19790. Everyone is thrilled that this requirement got cut -- especially those vendors with short-shelf-life products.<br /></li>
<li><b>EFP or EFT for Level 3</b> - This FIPS 140-2 Level 4 requirement has been pushed down to Level 3 in ISO 19790. (Note: Only EFP is allowed at Level 4 in ISO 19790)<br /></li>
<li><b>Cryptographic integrity tests</b> - For Level 2 and above, either an Approved keyed MAC based integrity check (Level 2) or an Approved digital signature based integrity test (Levels 2-4) is required. FIPS 140-2 allowed a non-cryptographic error detection code as a start-up integrity check for HW/FW modules.<br /></li>
<li><b>Conditional tests for algorithms</b> - known-answer tests (KATs) are not required for all of the Approved algorithms on power-up. A conditional test of an Approved algorithm is required prior to use of that algorithm. This will allow for faster module start-up times!<br /></li>
<li><b>Degraded operation</b> - ISO 19790 allows for a module to transition to a degraded operation if the mechanism or function causing the failure is isolated.<br /></li>
<li><b>One role minimum</b> - Only the Crypto Officer Role is required. Other roles may be defined as needed (User Role, Maintenance Role, ...).<br /></li>
<li><b>Multi-factor authentication</b> - If you are designing a Level 4 module, then you will need to employ multi-factor identity based authentication for access control.<br /></li>
<li><b>Zeroisation gets stricter</b> - At Levels 2 and 3, you can no longer overwrite an SSP (Sensitive Security Parameter) with another SSP. Temporary SSPs must be zeroised when no longer needed. At Level 4, even cryptographically protected SSPs must be zeroised. (Note: In ISO 19790, things get "zeroised" not "zeroized")</li>
</ol>
<div>
My next FIPS 140-3 Survival Kit post will take a look into SSPs.</div>

<b>"When is FIPS 140-3 coming out?"</b><br />
<br />
This is probably the question I am asked most often. It's my own fault for trying to provide <a href="http://fips140.blogspot.com/search?q=140-3" target="_blank">my best guesses at a FIPS 140-3 schedule</a>.<br />
<br />
Even though my predictions have not panned out as expected, that won't deter me from attempting to be helpful.<br />
<br />
Since the last NIST activity was to replace dates with "TBDs" on <a href="http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/ST/FIPS140_3/" target="_blank">the official FIPS 140-3 schedule</a>, <b>my recommendation to stay ahead of the FIPS 140-3 curve is to begin building your own FIPS 140-3 Survival Kit</b>. The first items to place in the kit are the following ISO documents:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>ISO/IEC 19790 Security requirements for cryptographic modules</b></li>
<li><b>ISO/IEC 24759 Test requirements for cryptographic modules</b></li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
ISO 19790 may be what NIST selects as the replacement standard for <a href="http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/fips/fips140-2/fips1402.pdf" target="_blank">FIPS 140-2</a>. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
ISO 24759 is the "<a href="http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp/documents/fips140-2/FIPS1402DTR.pdf" target="_blank">DTR</a>" (with all the ASxx.xx, VExx.xx.xx, and TExx.xx.xx statements as you know and love them).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Even though I've been through several California earthquakes, I am not able to predict when they will occur. I do know that I need to prepare for the next one. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am not certain that these ISO documents will be adopted by NIST, but it is a good idea to prepare. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In earthquakes and FIPS, it's best to have a survival kit ready and not need it.<br />

<b>The CMVP recently emerged from "Shark Week" with all limbs attached. </b>In fact, the results of "Shark Week" are even better than fresh fish tacos with guacamole at the beach!<br />
<br />
The CMVP probably has a different interpretation of "Shark Week" than I do, but I don't want to interrupt any of the Reviewers to ask them for a definition (they've been busy).<br />
<br />
<b>At the beginning of 2014, the CMVP was faced with an enormous backlog of FIPS 140-2 reports to review -- more than 150 reports were waiting for Reviewers to complete their initial pass.</b> When I saw this report backlog, I feared that we might start seeing CMVP review times of 1 year or more. "Shark Week" was CMVP's strategy to attack the report queue.<br />
<br />
No mercy.<br />
No phone calls.<br />
No meetings. <br />
<br />
<b>They became sharks. Reports were their prey.</b><br />
<br />
How did they do?<br />
<br />
Much better than the seals swimming in open waters. The March 10, 2014 <a href="http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp/inprocess.html" target="_blank">Modules in Process</a> report shows only 70 reports are in the "Review Pending" or "In Review" columns -- <b> that's more than a 50% reduction in review backlog</b>.<br />
<br />
There's still work to do -- the report also shows 112 reports in the "Coordination" column. <span style="font-family: inherit;">T<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18.479999542236328px;">he </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18.479999542236328px;">"Coordination"</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18.479999542236328px;"> phase indicates that the CMVP has completed their initial review and clarifying questions have been sent to the testing laboratory. This is the highest I've seen the Coordination value</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18.479999542236328px;">. The Vendor, Laboratory, and CMVP Reviewers all share responsibility in moving the report out of the "Coordination"</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 18.479999542236328px;"> phase so the certificate process can begin.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
Will we see 3-4 month review times again this year? It could happen (and I would have never believed it in January).<br />
