algorithm testing using libacvp

[jithueee]

Hi,
We have a vector request JSON file from third party, How can we pass existing JSON file to libacvp for algorithm testing? and get the test vector responses and upload to demo server? The test intended to run only AES algorithm. Can you provide steps will be helpful?

Hello,

Please view the comment here -

You would then run ./acvp_app --aes --vector_req <modified_input_file>.json --vector_rsp <output_file>.json

And remove the info you added from the output file.

Let us know if you have any further questions!

Thanks,
Andrew

Hi Andrew,

Thanks, that worked. How to upload test vector responses to demo server?
when i run this getting below error
./acvp_app --vector_upload <output_file>.json

***ACVP [STATUS][acvp_upload_vectors_from_file:1045]--> Uploading vectors from response file...

Please advise.

Thanks

Hello,

To submit them, you need the test session URL and JWT associated with it. If you received the vector set from elsewhere without that info, you would have to get that info from the source and fill them into the block we added to JSON.

Hi,
URL and JWT associated is there in JSON block, but getting 403 forbidden error.

Hello,

Do you have all of the other appropriate credentials to access the server? (key, cert, and TOTP seed, acquired from NIST)

Thanks,
Andrew

[jithueee]

Hi,
Yes, all are acquired from NIST, able to communicate with demo server.

able to run sample too.

./acvp_app --aes --sample

Hello,

My mistake for not pointing it out sooner.
The output file also needs a list of VectorSet URLs, which is the test session URL followed by /vectorSets/[vsid]
Also want to ensure that any forward slashes are escaped in JSON.
Here is an example from a file I just created for two algorithms, with identifying info removed -

[ {
    "jwt": "insertRealJwtHere",
    "url": "\/acvp\/v1\/testSessions\/000000",
    "isSample": false,
    "vectorSetUrls": [
        "\/acvp\/v1\/testSessions\/000000\/vectorSets\/00001",
        "\/acvp\/v1\/testSessions\/000000\/vectorSets\/00002"
    ]
}, {
    "vsId": 00001,
    "algorithm": "KAS-KDF",
    "mode": "HKDF",
    "revision": "Sp800-56Cr1",
    "isSample": false,
     ....etc

Hopefully this helps.

Thanks,
Andrew
