Doing FIPS responsibly since 2014!
FIPS is a set of standards, detailed in Special Publications, that need to be met to be awarded a FIPS validation/certification published on the NIST website.
A FIPS certificate, with the product listed in the certificate, is required to sell product(s) to medical, federal, or military agencies and is often required by some private sector entities as well.
The typical FIPS certification process is as follows:
- You send us your hardware and toolchain
- We run the initial tests which ensure the cryptography module behaves according to specification given your specific hardware and OS
- The CMVP certified lab runs and verifies the tests and their documentation
- The test results are submitted to NIST for review
- Your specific operating environment is added to our certificate
- You are FIPS 140 compliant in 60-90 days
