Abstract: A method for testing cryptographic algorithms includes: receiving one or more request files, wherein each request files is associated with a cryptographic algorithm and includes a plurality of tests; formatting the plurality of tests in each of the request files based on algorithm formatting rules; transmitting the request files; receiving a plurality of test results for each of the transmitted request files, wherein each test result corresponds to a test included in the respective request file and is generated by execution of the corresponding test using the cryptographic algorithm associated with the respective request file; generating a response file for each of the request files, wherein the response files includes a plurality of test results that correspond to each test included in the corresponding request file; formatting the plurality of tests results in each of the generated response files based on result formatting rules; and transmitting the response files.
