[dpdk-dev] Question Regarding FIPS Validation in DPDK

[Brandon Lo]

Hello,

I have been able to use Cisco's libacvp tool to retrieve test vectors
from the NIST ACVP API.
However, after building the dpdk-fips_validation example and reading
through its documentation, it seems like the example application is
unable to parse the request files due to them being in a different
format.
Currently, the ACVP API will supply request files in json format.

The example app documentation says that the request file must be in
CAVS 21.0 format. I have not been able to find a specification for
this format to compare.
Does the current version of the dpdk-fips_validation example support
the API's test vectors in json format?

Thanks,
Brandon
