Known Answer Test (KAT)
The cryptographic module enforces security rules to ensure that the Juniper Networks Junos OS in FIPS mode meets the security requirements of FIPS 140-3 Level 1. To validate the output of cryptographic algorithms approved for FIPS and test the integrity of some system modules, the device performs the following series of KAT self-tests:
kernel_kats—KAT for kernel cryptographic routines-
macsec_kats—KAT for MACsec cryptographic implementation md_kats—KAT for libmd and libcopenssl_kats—KAT for OpenSSL cryptographic implementationquicksec_kats—KAT for QuickSec Toolkit cryptographic implementation
For MACsec qualifications, the LC KATs must perform on AES-GCM-128 and AES-GCM-256.
The device automatically performs the KAT self-tests at startup. The device also performs the conditional self-tests automatically to verify digitally signed software packages, generated random numbers, RSA and ECDSA keypairs, and manually entered keys.
When the device successfully completes the KATs, it updates the log (syslog) file to display the executed tests.
If one of the KATs fail, the device panics and reboot continuously. You can recover the device using USB install.
The file show /var/log/messages command displays
the system log.
