What is ISO/IEC 19823‑10 about?
ISO/IEC 19823 series discusses Information technology. Conformance test methods for security service crypto suites. ISO/IEC 19823‑10 is one of the parts of the documents that describes test methods for determining the conformance of security crypto suites defined in ISO/IEC 29167-10.
ISO/IEC 19823‑10 contains conformance tests for all mandatory and applicable optional functions.
The conformance parameters are the following:
- Parameters that apply directly affecting system functionality and inter-operability
- Protocol including commands and replies
- Nominal values and tolerances
Unless otherwise specified, the tests in ISO/IEC 19823‑10 are intended to be applied exclusively to RFID Tags and Interrogators defined in the ISO/IEC 15693 series and in the ISO/IEC 18000 series using ISO/IEC 29167-10.
Who is ISO/IEC 19823‑10 for?
ISO/IEC 19823‑10 on information technology is relevant to:
- Cyber securities
- Software companies
- IT risk and IT security managers
- Regulatory authorities
- Information technology companies
- Government regulatory authorities
- Financial firms
Why should you use ISO/IEC 19823‑10?
It is important to ensure that the system requirement of crypto suites is as per the user need. In addition to that, one must ensure that design, development and evaluation are also up to standards.
ISO/IEC 19823‑10 will help you in designing the parameters and theoretical analyses of crypto suites that ensure conformance and technical analysis of the components or system. With the help of ISO/IEC 19823‑10, you will be able to understand the test patterns. These test patterns use the authenticate and read buffer command for the protection of data.
The test methods mentioned in ISO/IEC 19823‑10 will help you with:
- In avoiding the duplication of specification and information requirements for the test method.
- Understanding the conformance test for security service crypto suites.
- Performing the test methods using the test requirement, crypto suite requirements, test patterns outlined in ISO/IEC 19823
By performing these test methods your data is secured with the help of the crypto suite services.
