 The critical security functions of the cryptographic module are:
-* Random number generation. Used for the generation of cryptographic keys used by Approved cryptographic algorithms. Tested by the power-up random number generator known-answer test and the conditional continuous random number generator test.
+* Random number generation. Used for the generation of cryptographic keys used by Approved cryptographic algorithms. Tested by the power-up random number generator known-answer test and the conditional [http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/fips/nss-source/mozilla/security/nss/lib/freebl/prng_fips1861.c.dep.html#alg_fips186_2_cn_1 continuous random number generator test].
-* Operation of the cryptographic algorithms. Used for encryption, decryption, and authentication. Tested by the power-up cryptographic algorithm tests and the conditional pairwise consistency test (when the module generates public and private keys).
