Can an AI system do any of the functions performed by FIPS lab personnel during a FIPS 140-3 validation ? The main components are: a. algorithm testing b. functional testing the 11 sections of FIPS 140-3 including source code analysis, key management, roles services and authentication etc c. web cryptik report writing d. entropy analysis and report writing e. physical security testing including tamper label testing with chemicals, environmental testing for voltage and temperature How much if this could an AI system perform? I would like to know how safe my job is 😄😎😀
