The Federal Information Processing Standard Publication 140-2, (FIPS PUB 140-2), [1] [2] is a U.S. government computer security standard used to approve cryptographic modules. The title is Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules .
As of October 2020, FIPS 140-2 and FIPS 140-3 are both accepted as current and active. [1] FIPS 140-3 was approved on March 22, 2019 as the successor to FIPS 140-2 and became effective on September 22, 2019. [2] FIPS 140-3 testing began on September 22, 2020, and a small number of validation certificates have been issued.
FIPS 140-2 testing is against a defined cryptographic module and provides a suite of conformance tests to four FIPS 140 security levels. FIPS 140-2 describes the requirements for cryptographic modules and includes such areas as physical security, key management, self tests, roles and services, etc. The standard was initially developed in 1994 ...
This table denotes, if a cryptography library provides the technical requisites for FIPS 140, and the status of their FIPS 140 certification (according to NIST's CMVP search, [27] modules in process list [28] and implementation under test list).
