<br />
The '''Cryptographic Module Validation Program''' ('''CMVP''') is a joint American and Canadian security accreditation program for [[cryptographic module]]s. The program is available to any vendors who seek to have their products certified for use by the [[U.S. Government]] and regulated industries (such as financial and health-care institutions) that collect, store, transfer, share and disseminate "[[Sensitive but unclassified|sensitive, but not classified]]" information. All of the tests under the CMVP are handled by third-party laboratories that are accredited as [[CMTL|Cryptographic Module Testing Laboratories]] by the [[National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program]] (NVLAP). Product certifications under the CMVP are performed in accordance with the requirements of [[FIPS 140-3]].<br />
<br />
The CMVP was established by the U.S. [[National Institute of Standards and Technology]] (NIST) and the [[Communications Security Establishment]] (CSE) of the [[Politics of Canada|Government of Canada]] in July 1995.<br />
<br />
The Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program (CAVP), which provides guidelines for validation testing for FIPS approved and NIST recommended cryptographic algorithms and components of algorithms, is a prerequisite for CMVP.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cavp/|title=Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program (CAVP) |publisher=National Institute of Standards and technology|accessdate=2014-01-13}}</ref><br />
