2. Abstract

This document defines the JSON schema for testing LMS implementations with the ACVP specification.

3. Introduction

The Automated Crypto Validation Protocol (ACVP) defines a mechanism to automatically verify the cryptographic implementation of a software or hardware crypto module. The ACVP specification defines how a crypto module communicates with an ACVP server, including crypto capabilities negotiation, session management, authentication, vector processing and more. The ACVP specification does not define algorithm specific JSON constructs for performing the crypto validation. A series of ACVP sub-specifications define the constructs for testing individual crypto algorithms. Each sub-specification addresses a specific class of crypto algorithms. This sub-specification defines the JSON constructs for testing LMS implementations using ACVP.

4. Conventions

4.1. Notation conventions

The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 of [RFC2119] and [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here.

5. Supported LMS Algorithms

The following LMS algorithms MAY be advertised by the ACVP compliant cryptographic module. The list is in the form "algorithm / mode / revision".

6. Test Types and Test Coverage

6.1. Test Types

The ACVP server performs a set of tests on the specified LMS algorithm in order to assess the correctness and robustness of the implementation. A typical ACVP validation session SHALL require multiple tests to be performed for every supported permutation of LMS capabilities. This section describes the design of the tests used to validate implementations of the LMS algorithms.

  • LMS / keyGen / * "AFT" - Algorithm Functional Test. The IUT is REQUIRED for each test case provided, to generate a key pair based on an approved tree structure. This information is then communicated to the ACVP server and validated.
  • LMS / sigGen / * "AFT" - Algorithm Functional Test. This testing mode expects the IUT to generate valid signatures based on the ACVP provided message. The signature is then validated with the ACVP server given the IUT's communicated tree structure, public key, and signature.
  • LMS / sigVer / * "AFT" - Algorithm Functional Test. The ACVP server generates a series of signatures to communicate to the IUT. The IUT is REQUIRED to determine the validity of the signature given the tree structure, key, and message.

6.2. Test Coverage

The tests described in this document have the intention of ensuring an implementation is conformant to [SP800-208].

6.2.1. Requirements Covered

  • SP 800-208 Section 8. Conformance. The tests provided by ACVP are only able to provide a correctness assertion of an implementation.
  • Due to the randomized nature of generating LMS trees, the ACVP server MAY test implementations against the pseudorandom key generation process defined in [RFC8554] Appendix A.

6.2.2. Requirements Not Covered

  • SP800-208 Section 8. Conformance. Many requirements outlined in this section are not testable by ACVP. ACVP does not test the inability of an implementation to export a private key. ACVP does not provide any guarantees on the inability to reuse private OTS pairs of an implementation.

7. Capabilities Registration

ACVP requires crypto modules to register their capabilities. This allows the crypto module to advertise support for specific algorithms, notifying the ACVP server which algorithms need test vectors generated for the validation process. This section describes the constructs for advertising support of LMS algorithms to the ACVP server.

The algorithm capabilities MUST be advertised as JSON objects within the 'algorithms' value of the ACVP registration message. The 'algorithms' value is an array, where each array element is an individual JSON object defined in this section. The 'algorithms' value is part of the 'capability_exchange' element of the ACVP JSON registration message. See the ACVP specification [ACVP] for more details on the registration message.

7.1. Prerequisites

Each algorithm implementation MAY rely on other cryptographic primitives. For example, RSA Signature algorithms depend on an underlying hash function. Each of these underlying algorithm primitives must be validated, either separately or as part of the same submission. ACVP provides a mechanism for specifying the required prerequisites:

Prerequisites, if applicable, MUST be submitted in the registration as the prereqVals JSON property array inside each element of the algorithms array. Each element in the prereqVals array MUST contain the following properties

Table 1: Prerequisite Properties
JSON Property Description JSON Type
algorithm a prerequisite algorithm string
valValue algorithm validation number string

A "valValue" of "same" SHALL be used to indicate that the prerequisite is being met by a different algorithm in the capability exchange in the same registration.

An example description of prerequisites within a single algorithm capability exchange looks like this

"prereqVals":
[
  {
    "algorithm": "Alg1",
    "valValue": "Val-1234"
  },
  {
    "algorithm": "Alg2",
    "valValue": "same"
  }
]

7.2. Required Prerequisite Algorithms for LMS Validations

Each LMS implementation relies on other cryptographic primitives. For example, LMS keyGen uses an underlying SHA algorithm. Each of these underlying algorithm primitives must be validated, either separately or as part of the same submission. ACVP provides a mechanism for specifying the required prerequisites:

Table 2: Required LMS Prerequisite Algorithms JSON Values
JSON Value Description JSON Type Valid Values
algorithm a prerequisite algorithm string SHA, or DRBG
valValue algorithm validation number string Actual number or "same"
prereqAlgVal prerequisite algorithm validation object with algorithm and valValue properties See above

7.3. LMS Algorithm Registration Properties

Each LMS algorithm capability advertised is a self-contained JSON object using the following values.

Table 3: LMS Algorithm Capabilities JSON Values
JSON Value Description JSON Type Valid Values
algorithm The LMS algorithm to be validated string See Section 5
mode The LMS mode to be validated string See Section 5
revision The algorithm testing revision to use string See Section 5
prereqVals Prerequisite algorithm validations array of prereqAlgVal objects See Section 7.2
capabilities The general pairs of LMS and LMOTS modes that are supported. See note. object See Table 4
specificCapabilities The set of exact LMS and LMOTS mode matches that are supported. See note. array of objects See Table 5

The capabilities advertised by the module must use the following JSON object schema. The ACVP server MAY select any pairing of values from the arrays to test.

Note: The capabilities object is preferred, as it allows the ACVP server to select from a random sampling of the product of the registered capabilities. The specificCapabilities object can be used as an alternative, if your IUT does not support a wide variety of capabilities, and needs to have specific combinations tested against.

The two capabilities and specificCapabilities cannot be used together with the same registration.

JSON Value Description JSON Type Valid Values
lmsModes An array of LMS modes supported array of strings See Section 7.3.1
lmOtsModes An array of LMOTS modes supported array of strings See Section 7.3.2

8. Test Vectors

The ACVP server provides test vectors to the ACVP client, which are then processed and returned to the ACVP server for validation. A typical ACVP validation test session would require multiple test vector sets to be downloaded and processed by the ACVP client. Each test vector set represents an individual algorithm defined during the capability exchange. This section describes the JSON schema for a test vector set used with LMS algorithms.

The test vector set JSON schema is a multi-level hierarchy that contains meta data for the entire vector set as well as individual test vectors to be processed by the ACVP client. The following table describes the JSON elements at the top level of the hierarchy.

Table 6: Top Level Test Vector JSON Elements
JSON Values Description JSON Type
acvVersion Protocol version identifier string
vsId Unique numeric vector set identifier integer
algorithm Algorithm defined in the capability exchange string
mode Mode defined in the capability exchange string
revision Protocol test revision selected string
testGroups Array of test groups containing test data, see Section 9 array

An example of this would look like this

[
  {
    "acvVersion": <version>
  },
  {
    "vsId": 1,
    "algorithm": "Alg1",
    "mode": "Mode1",
    "revision": "Revision1.0",
    "testGroups": [ ... ]
  }
]

9. Test Vectors

10. Test Vector Responses

After the ACVP client downloads and processes a vector set, it must send the response vectors back to the ACVP server. The following table describes the JSON object that represents a vector set response.

Table 14: Response JSON Object
JSON Property Description JSON Type
acvVersion The ACVP version used string
vsId The vector set identifier integer

An example of this is the following

{
    "acvVersion": "version",
    "vsId": 1,
    "testGroups": [ ... ]
}

The 'testGroups' section is used to organize the ACVP client response in a similar manner to how it distributes vectors.
