Hi everyone,
  I have received access to NIST’s ACVTS demo server for validating my Kyber and Dilithium implementations. As per the guidelines, access is available only through the specified open-source clients. However, I am currently facing issues in initiating the validation process. Could someone kindly guide me through the basic steps to begin validation after obtaining the CSR and .cer files from NIST?
Thanks & Regards
Jeevanjeet

Hi Jeevanjeet,

 

I can help you with that. We recommend using one of the open-source clients, but it is not required. If you wanted to set everything up through a direct API tool like Postman, that is entirely possible.

 

Here are the instructions for obtaining credentials to access Demo ACVTS: https://pages.nist.gov/ACVP/#access. The CAVP doesn’t actively monitor the pqc-forum list, it’s a bit busy to track. Feel free to reach out to me directly, or ca...@nist.gov.

 

Thanks,

Chris Celi

CAVP Program Manager
