A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Test Lab (C23b)

A FIPS tester finds himself mixed up in a series of peculiar, absurd, but eerily familiar scenarios on the way to the Test Lab.  A Scheme Reviewer dreams of consistently high quality submissions, and a Vendor with too much on their plate struggles to understand the workings of a system from the outside looking in. 

 

A new multi-media presentation from the same creative team that brought you the FIPS physical testing silent movie at ICMC 2023, “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Test Lab” is a cryptic triptych of scenes told from the perspectives of all 3 parties involved in the FIPS certification process.  Learn (and laugh) about FIPS procedure, industry jargon, and the complicated multi-partner dance of FIPS validation by re-imagining it as a series of day-to-day interactions.
