Entropy Provider (CCEP)
ESV-validated entropy source software for strong cryptography and FIPS 140-3 validation
The Critical Role of Entropy in Cryptography
In modern cybersecurity, strong entropy in cryptography isn't optional — it's essential.
Why Entropy Matters
Protects cryptographic keys with randomness that resists reverse-engineering
Ensures compliance with current FIPS 140-3 and Common Criteria entropy validation mandates
Strengthens cryptographic modules by enabling certified, standards-aligned key generation processes
New Mandates for Entropy Source Validation Are Here
As cyber threats evolve, so do compliance standards. Regulatory bodies, including NIST, the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security (CCCS), and NIAP, now require formally validated entropy sources to ensure the strength and reliability of cryptographic modules.
Failing to meet the new entropy source validation requirements could delay certifications or disqualify cryptographic products from government and enterprise markets.
ENTROPY VALIDATION REQUIREMENTS ARE NOW IN EFFECT
Organizations pursuing new FIPS 140-3 and applicable Common Criteria evaluations must account for SP 800-90B entropy requirements early in the certification process.
NIST / CMVP
SP 800-90B conformance and entropy validation requirements apply based on the module's entropy architecture and applicable implementation guidance.
Common Criteria / NIAP
Validated entropy sources support applicable entropy requirements for products undergoing NIAP/Common Criteria evaluation.
Organizations must act now to align with the stricter validation landscape — or risk falling behind.
