+
+  The FIPS validation sample application has been added the KATS self test
+  functionality. The self test is meant for validating the PMD during the

+  (cipher, hash, aead, etc.) are performed and checked the known answers.
+  Once any result does not match the answer the PMD is uninitialized and
