ITAA Perspectives on NIST Testing Regime • Time Constraint • The impending implementation deadline makes establishing a testing regimen difficult • Funding Adequacy • Lack of funding makes establishing a government testing regimen problematic • Cost/Capability of Testing Facilities • Third-party testing facilities are costly to government and business • Known limitations on any testing facility
ITAA Perspectives on NIST Testing Regime Industry Expectation Industry has made significant investments in testing and evaluating products Government should look to an industry/government validation process Industry should self-certify (Y2K Model) to a testing regime Government Validation Testing and evaluation of products should be evolutionary Interoperability Testing Interoperability of v6 – Industry self-certification using publicly available testing criteria 2
