Hi all,

For the hackathon this upcoming weekend in Prague, here is a rundown for the event (and prior). We intend on standing up a separate instance of the ACVP server with authentication turned off (for simplicity). This is still in progress. An additional email will be sent out with the IP address when it is available. As of now, this server will only support AES-ECB and AES-GCM. These algorithms could be seen as pre-requisites for AES-GCM-SIV.

During the hackathon, we will implement AES-GCM-SIV on the server in tandem with Cisco implementing AES-GCM-SIV on their client. For others interested in testing, we will email the list when you may test AES-GCM-SIV.

Thanks,
Chris Celi
