Also called a central processor, main processor or just processor, is the electronic circuitry that executes instructions comprising a computer program.
General term for computer security techniques which prevent a wide variety of malware attacks from redirecting the flow of execution of a program
The Common Criteria for Information Technology Security Evaluation (referred to as Common Criteria or CC) is an international standard (ISO/IEC 15408) for computer security certification. CC is the driving force for the widest available mutual recognition of secure IT products.
Integrated circuit design on a printed circuit board (PCB) that uses semiconductor technology. The PCB has microchips and a layout of electric circuits that connect the chips. All circuit boards are typically either CMOS chips, N-type metal oxide semiconductor (NMOS) logic, or transistor-transistor logic (TTL) chips. The CMOS chip is most commonly used, as it produces less heat and requires less electricity than the others.
Information that is either user or system defined and is used to operate a cryptography module in processing encryption functions including cryptographic keys and authentication data, such as passwords, the disclosure or modification of which can compromise the security of a cryptographic module or the security of the information protected by the module.
Program operated by NIST to provide validation testing of approved cryptographic algorithms and their individual components.
A joint American and Canadian security accreditation program for cryptographic modules. 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 not classified" information. All of the tests under the CMVP are handled by third-party laboratories. Product certifications under the CMVP are performed in accordance with the requirements of FIPS 140-3.
