The global need for trusted security protection across our networks and systems has never been higher, yet the approval mechanisms for getting new and improved cryptographic products to the market remain beset with complexities, especially when considering multiple markets. A common approach to security certification would significantly reduce the complexity and timescales for getting the latest technology into our networks and systems.
As we embark on the journey to establish a unified approach to Cryptographic Module Security Certification based on ISO/IEC 19790, and the first group of manufacturers complete the process, we address 3 key questions:
- What is the importance and value of this certification?
- What can be done to improve the government and specifier community understanding of the common approach, to allow them to accept general certification, reducing cost and time for getting new and improved products to the market?
- How does cryptographic module security certification sit alongside general product/system security certification through the Common Criteria approach?
At this session, we move forward with the previous debate, showcasing the first products to go through this new certification process. We will also bring together experts from around the world to discuss these key themes and take us closer to making a common approach to cryptographic module security certification a reality.
