On July 17, 1995, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) established the Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP) that validates cryptographic modules. The CMVP is a joint effort between NIST and the Communications Security Establishment Canada (CSEC). Vendors of cryptographic modules use independent, accredited Cryptographic Module Testing (CMT) laboratories to test their modules. The CMT laboratories use the Derived Test Requirements (DTR), Implementation Guidance (IG) and applicable CMVP programmatic guidance to test cryptographic modules against the applicable standards. NIST's Computer Security Division (CSD) and CSEC jointly serve as the Validation Authorities for the program, validating the test results and issuing certificates.

The National Information Assurance Partnership Common Criteria Evaluation and Validation Scheme (CCEVS) is managed and staffed by the National Security Agency (NSA). The focus of the CCEVS is to establish a national program for the evaluation of information technology products for conformance to the International Common Criteria for Information Technology Security Evaluation. The CCEVS approves participation of security testing laboratories in the scheme in accordance with its established policies and procedures. During the course of an evaluation, the CCEVS provides technical guidance to those testing laboratories, validates the results of IT security evaluations for conformance to the Common Criteria, and serves as an interface to other nations for the recognition of such evaluations.
