In this paper, we discuss a validation test for cryptographic algorithms. The cryptographic algorithms decide on the security and the confidence of a security system protecting sensitive information. So. the implementation of cryptographic algorithms is very critical of the system. The validation lest specifies the procedures involved in validating implementations of the cryptographic standards and provides conformance testing for components or procedures of the algorithm. We propose a SEED Validation System(SVS) to verify that the implementation correctly performs the SEED algorithm. The SVS is composed of two types of validation tests, the Known Answer test and the Monte Carlo test. The System generates the testing data for the Known Answer tests and the random data for the Monte Carlo tests. This system can be used to validate and certify the cryptographic product.
