FIPS self-tests FIPS provides self-test mechanisms, including power-up self-test and conditional self-test, to ensure the normal operation of cryptography modules. You can also trigger a self-test. If the power-up self-test fails, the device where the self-test process exists reboots. If the conditional self-test fails, the system outputs self-test failure information. NOTE: If a self-test fails, contact HP Support. Power-up self-tests The power-up self-test, also called "known-answer test," examines the availability of FIPS-allowed cryptographic algorithms. A cryptographic algorithm is run on data for which the correct output is already known. The calculated output is compared with the known answer. If they are not identical, the known-answer test fails. The power-up self-test examines the following cryptographic algorithms: • DSA (signature and authentication) • RSA (signature and authentication) • RSA (encryption and decryption) • AES • 3DES • SHA1 • HMAC-SHA1 • Random number generator algorithms Conditional self-tests A conditional self-test runs when an asymmetrical cryptographic module or a random number generator module is invoked. Conditional self-tests include the following types: • Pair-wise consistency test-This test is run when a DSA/RSA asymmetrical key-pair is generated. It uses the public key to encrypt a plain text, and uses the private key to decrypt the encrypted text. If the decryption is successful, the test succeeds. Otherwise, the test fails. • Continuous random number generator test-This test is run when a random number is generated. If two consecutive random numbers are different, the test succeeds. Otherwise, the test fails. This test can also be run when a DSA/RSA asymmetrical key-pair is generated. Triggering self-tests To examine whether the cryptography modules operate correctly, you can trigger a self-test on the cryptographic algorithms. The triggered self-test is the same as the power-up self-test. If the self-test fails, the device automatically reboots. To trigger a self-test: 194

FIPS self-tests

FIPS provides self-test mechanisms, including power-up self-test and conditional self-test, to ensure the

normal operation of cryptography modules. You can also trigger a self-test. If the power-up self-test fails,

the device where the self-test process exists reboots. If the conditional self-test fails, the system outputs

self-test failure information.

NOTE:

If a self-test fails, contact HP Support.

Power-up self-tests

The power-up self-test, also called "known-answer test," examines the availability of FIPS-allowed

cryptographic algorithms. A cryptographic algorithm is run on data for which the correct output is

already known. The calculated output is compared with the known answer. If they are not identical, the

known-answer test fails.

The power-up self-test examines the following cryptographic algorithms:

•

DSA (signature and authentication)

•

RSA (signature and authentication)

•

RSA (encryption and decryption)

•

AES

•

3DES

•

SHA1

•

HMAC-SHA1

•

Random number generator algorithms

Conditional self-tests

A conditional self-test runs when an asymmetrical cryptographic module or a random number generator

module is invoked. Conditional self-tests include the following types:

•

Pair-wise consistency test

—This test is run when a DSA/RSA asymmetrical key-pair is generated. It

uses the public key to encrypt a plain text, and uses the private key to decrypt the encrypted text. If

the decryption is successful, the test succeeds. Otherwise, the test fails.

•

Continuous random number generator test

—This test is run when a random number is generated.

If two consecutive random numbers are different, the test succeeds. Otherwise, the test fails. This test

can also be run when a DSA/RSA asymmetrical key-pair is generated.

Triggering self-tests

To examine whether the cryptography modules operate correctly, you can trigger a self-test on the

cryptographic algorithms. The triggered self-test is the same as the power-up self-test. If the self-test fails,

the device automatically reboots.

To trigger a self-test:
