TITLE: Cryptographic Algorithm implementation and validation of SHA3 and XTS-AES (Cryptographic Algorithmic Validation Program (CAVP)) The Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program (CAVP) provides validation testing of FIPS-approved and NIST-recommended cryptographic algorithms and their individual components. CAVP tool is used by CST (Cryptography System Testing). It consists of mostly all the cryptographic algorithms (e.g., Encryption Algo, Hash Algo, Key Exchange Algorithm). I worked on the implementation of: 1) SHA-3 Bit-Oriented algorithm for hashing. 2) XTS-AES is a block cipher mode used for Disk en/de-cryption.
