At the time the dpdk-fips_validation tool was written the test vectors weren't available in JSON format, and, to the best of my knowledge, there was a format specification (which is why there is different parsing for different algorithms). We (the community) should probably move to the JSON format. Adding Fan Zhang since I think this was discussion in the community previously. John
