Hi All,
I was going through libkcapi APIs to see if it can be used for DRBG CAVS validation. But I am thinking it cannot be.
I also found cavs_driver.pl, this seems to depend on some kernel mode driver. Is it like I need to testmgr.c kind of an interface and that should be accessed by user mode.
Please can any confirm if my understandings are correct?
Regards,
Jaya

The libkcapi cannot be used for CAVS testing the DRBG. Also a number of other
ciphers like the asymmetric ciphers are not testable via libkcapi.
And yes, the Perl code refers to a kernel module that I developed but is
private that allows full CAVS testing - this is the one that is used for all
kernel crypto API CAVS/ACVP certificates that are out there.
Ciao
