Conditional self-tests must be run when an applicable security function or operation is invoked. Unlike
the power-up self-tests, conditional self-tests are executed each time their associated function is
accessed.
Conditional self-tests include the following:
• Pair-wise consistency test—This test is run when a public-private key-pair is generated.
• Continuous random number generator test—This test is run when a random number is generated.
Both of these tests automatically run when a switch is in FIPS mode.
