KISA Provides 'Online Cryptographic Module Validation Management and Pre-Validation Service'

Verification of Encryption Module Testing Stages and
Expectations for Shortened Development and Testing Periods

The Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA), together with the Ministry of Science and ICT, the National Intelligence Service, and the National Security Research Institute, announced on the 6th that it will provide the 'Online Cryptographic Module Verification Management and Pre-Verification Service.' The cryptographic module verification management service is a one-stop service that allows management of test status and history from application to verification completion of cryptographic modules.

This service can be used by companies wishing to undergo cryptographic module testing and verification through membership registration and approval. The cryptographic module pre-verification service allows companies to self-test as a preliminary check before formally testing the cryptographic module. For more details, please refer to the Cryptographic Module Verification Management and Pre-Verification Service website.

KISA’s Digital Industry Headquarters Director Kwon Hyun-oh stated, “Previously, testing and management had to be done offline, which took time, but by providing the service online based on the citizen-centered digital platform government, we expect the development and testing period of cryptographic modules to be shortened.” He added, “Going forward, KISA will continue to play a role in supporting institutional challenges to revitalize the private cryptography market.”
