Abstract: In one embodiment, a system includes a processor and logic integrated with and/or executable by the processor, the logic being configured to cause the processor to receive a data stream including data for encryption, insert one or more test vectors between individual blocks of data of the data stream, encrypt the blocks of data including the one or more test vectors to produce an encrypted data stream including one or more encrypted test vectors, decrypt the encrypted data stream including the one or more encrypted test vectors, compare each decrypted test vector with a corresponding inserted test vector, and report results of the comparison. Other systems, methods, and computer program products for self testing an encryption/decryption cycle are described according to more embodiments.
