TCG Storage Opal Family Test Cases

The TCG Storage Opal Family Test Cases Specification defines standardized test procedures for validating storage devices that implement the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) Opal family of security standards, including Opal, Opalite, Pyrite, and Ruby Security Subsystem Classes (SSCs). The specification provides a structured framework for verifying that a storage device’s Trusted Peripheral (TPer) security subsystem correctly implements required functionality defined in the TCG Storage architecture and related interface specifications.

The document organizes test cases into several categories, including common baseline requirements, functional use-case validation, specific feature testing, and error condition verification. Each test case includes clearly defined prerequisites, test sequences, and expected responses to ensure consistent and repeatable evaluation. These tests validate core security capabilities such as device discovery, ownership establishment, locking range configuration, authentication, session management, secure erase operations, and other storage security features.

These test cases support the TCG Storage Certification Program, which provides the policies and procedures used to certify compliant storage devices. Devices may be tested using approved test suites through certified test houses or official compliance workshops, and certified products are listed on the public TCG Certified Storage Product List after successful compliance testing and required security evaluation.

Together, these resources help ensure interoperability, security, and reliable implementation of trusted storage technologies across the industry.
