The CMVP was established by the U.S. [[National Institute of Standards and Technology]] (NIST) and the [[Communications Security Establishment]] (CSE) of the [[Politics of Canada|Government of Canada]] in July 1995.

The Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program (CAVP), which provides guidelines for validation testing for FIPS approved and NIST recommended cryptographic algorithms and components of algorithms, is a prerequisite for CMVP.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cavp/|title=Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program (CAVP) |publisher=National Institute of Standards and technology|accessdate=2014-01-13}}</ref>
