This document identifies the Functional Requirements and Test Cases (FRTC) that the FIPS 201 Evaluation Program will perform on PACS submitted for evaluation. All requirements are instrumented using a smart card as presented to the system and various Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) paths. The PKI and smart cards test for specific common failures in cards and PKI, as well as Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) issues that impact PACS specifically. The PACS evaluation process is designed to be agnostic to architecture and focuses solely on functional testing using an end-to-end testing methodology.
Revision 1.3.3 is the 4th major FRTC revision release by the GSA since the current program began in 2012.
