  • Japan Cryptographic Module Validation Program

  The Japan Cryptographic Module Validation Program (JCMVP) has been established with the objective of having third-party entities perform testing and validation procedures systematically so as to enable Cryptographic Module users to recognize precisely and in detail that Cryptographic Modules consisting of hardware, software and/or firmware components, in which Approved Security Functions included in the 
e-Government Recommended Ciphers List, etc. (e.g. cryptographic functions, hash functions and signature functions) are implemented, appropriately protect the security functions, cryptographic keys, passwords and other sensitive information stored therein. The JCMVP is expected to help the procurement based on 
"Standards for Information Security Measures for the Central Government Computer Systems (Feburary 2009 (Fourth Edition))".

The JCMVP is operated by the Information-technology Promotion Agency, Japan (IPA) as a product certification system.
