NIST provides testvectors through (at least) two different processes. "Crypto Toolkit" test vectors are generally those published during publicatin of a standard. CAVP (Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program) test vectors are generated for the use of labs that check FIPS-compliance.
This repo contains both, in the same place.
NIST CSRC's Crypto Toolkit helpfully provides test vectors as PDFs.
This repository contains scripts to automate pulling out the test vectors and dumping them to text files. (And, eventually, parsing them into useful formats.)
Currently, only the FIPS-202 (draft) test-vectors for the SHA-3 and
SHAKE functions are parsed; C initializers are dumped for them in
the fips202 directory.
The only official source for test vectors is the Crypto Toolkit. This repository is not endorsed by NIST.
POSIX-compatible environment and Python >= 2.7.
On OSX/Homebrew, just do:
brew install wget parallel
pip install -r requirements.txt
On Ubuntu, do:
sudo apt-get install wget parallel python-pip
sudo pip install more_itertools
(But note that Ubuntu 12.04 uses a very old parallel; you'll
need to insert a wrapper in your path that invokes
parallel --gnu.)
Or manually install the packages:
You also need either sha512sum or shasum installed.
Package versions recommended:
- wget >= 1.15
- parallel >= 20140322
- more_itertools >= 2.2
To reproduce, have the dependencies in dependencies.txt in your
PATH and do:
./do
(The full set of PDFs this will pull is 78M.)
Pull requests welcome.
Please email me AND file an issue if a parsed test-vector is incorrect.
Let me know if there is an output format which would be more useful for you.
Approximate guidelines for contributions:
- Minimal dependencies
- Shell scripts: no bashisms; only POSIX utilities called with POSIX parameters, wget, or parallel
- Python scripts: Python3-clean
