Cryptographic Modules – Design

A design is an engineering solution that addresses the functional specification for a cryptographic module. The design is intended to provide assurance that the functional specification of a cryptographic module corresponds to the intended functionality described in the Security Policy.

Cryptographic modules shall be designed to allow the testing of the implemented functionality to this standard, where possible without compromising the security of the module, so that all the services of [..]

Single-Chip Cryptographic Modules

The following requirements are specific to single-chip cryptographic modules.

SECURITY LEVEL 1

There are no additional Security Level 1 requirements for single-chip cryptographic modules.

SECURITY LEVEL 2

In addition to the requirements for Security Level 1, the following requirements shall apply to single-chip cryptographic modules for Security Level 2.

• The cryptographic module shall be covered with a tamper-evident coating (e.g., a tamper-evident passivation material or a tamper-evident material covering the passivation) or contained in atamper-evident [..]
