The Crypto-V Alliance is pleased to announce that Tasting Cryptography: FIPS ‘n’ Chips is now available for pre-order, with a release date of September 16th, 2026.
Designed as a practical guide rather than a purely theoretical textbook, Tasting Cryptography helps readers understand how modern cryptographic modules are designed, implemented, tested, and validated. The book bridges the latest international standards, including ISO/IEC 19790:2025 and ISO/IEC 24759:2025, with decades of real-world experience in cryptographic module validation.
Readers will find coverage of topics including:
- Cryptographic module standards and requirements
- Validation and testing methodologies
- The Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP)
- Practical implementation challenges and best practices
- Post-quantum cryptography and emerging developments
- The collaborative ecosystem supporting cryptographic assurance
Whether you are a developer, security engineer, validation laboratory professional, researcher, student, or policymaker, Tasting Cryptography provides valuable insight into the technologies and processes that help establish trust in modern digital systems.
The book is edited by Yi Mao and features contributions from experts with extensive experience in cryptographic engineering and validation.
We are excited to make this resource available to the community and look forward to seeing it become a valuable reference for everyone involved in cryptographic assurance.
