Update on AIS 20/31 (N12a)
The BSI evaluation guidelines for random number generators, AIS 20 and AIS 31, have been effective in the German Common Criteria certification scheme for over 20 years, last updated in 2011. In September 2022 a draft of the mathematical-technical reference, ‘A Proposal for Functionality Classes for Random Number Generators’, was published with the possibility to submit comments. In June 2023 a workshop is held. This presentation summarizes the key features and innovations of the final document, which is expected to become effective in the fourth quarter of 2023. Furthermore, a brief overview of the received public comments is given.
