Test vectors

For convenience, test vectors can be downloaded in JSON format from the test-vectors directory.

Project Wycheproof includes additional test vectors:

• for AEGIS-128L
• for AEGIS-256

Project Rooterberg also includes an extensive set of test vectors for AEGIS variants.

Approvals and Certifications
