Test Data Format A test data file is an ASCII text file composed of sections separated by blank lines. Each section is stand-alone and independent of other sections that may be in the same file, and contains one or more tests. A section is composed of a sequence of fields. Each field is one or more lines composed of a field name, followed by a colon (":"), followed by a field body. All but the last line of a field must end with a backslash ("\"). If any line contains a hash mark ("#"), the hash mark and everything after it on the same line is not considered part of the field body. Each section must contain fields named AlgorithmType, Name, Source, and Test. The presence and semantics of other fields depend on the algorithm being tested and the tests to be run. Each section may contain more than one test and therefore more than one field named Test. In that case the order of the fields is significant. A test should always use the last field with any given name that occurs before the Test field. Data Types int - small integer (less than 2^32) in decimal representation string - human readable string encoded string - can be one of the following - quoted string: "message" means "message" without the quotes or terminating '\0' - hex encoded string: 0x74657374 or 74657374 means "test" - repeated string: r100 "message" to repeat "message" 100 times, or r256 0x0011 to repeat 0x0011 256 times Field Types AlgorithmType - string, for example "Signature", "AsymmetricCipher", "SymmetricCipher", "MAC", "MessageDigest", or "KeyFactory" Name - string, an algorithm name from SCAN Test - string, identifies the test to run Source - string, text explaining where the test data came from Comment - string, other comments about the test data KeyFormat - string, specifies the key format. "Component" here means each component of the key or key pair is specified separately as a name, value pair, with the names depending on the algorithm being tested. Otherwise the value names "Key", or "PublicKey" and "PrivateKey" are used. Key - encoded string PublicKey - encoded string PrivateKey - encoded string Message - encoded string, message to be signed or verified Signature - encoded string, signature to be verified or compared with Plaintext - encoded string Ciphertext - encoded string Digest - encoded string TruncatedSize - int, size of truncated digest in bytes Seek - int, seek location for random access ciphers (more to come here) Possible Tests KeyPairValidAndConsistent - public and private keys are both valid and consistent with each other PublicKeyInvalid - public key validation should not pass PrivateKeyInvalid - private key validation should not pass Verify - signature/digest/MAC verification should pass VerifyTruncated - truncated digest/MAC verification should pass NotVerify - signature/digest/MAC verification should not pass DeterministicSign - sign message using given seed, and the resulting signature should be equal to the given signature DecryptMatch - ciphertext decrypts to plaintext (more to come here)
