For example, FIPS 140-3, "Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules," specifies security requirements for cryptographic systems and is widely adopted by both government and private sector organizations requiring robust encryption capabilities.
Network security are security controls, policies, processes and practices adopted to prevent, detect and monitor unauthorized access, misuse, modification, or denial of a computer network and network-accessible resources. [1] Network security involves the authorization of access to data in a network, which is controlled by the network ...
Protection Profile (PP) – a document, typically created by a user or user community, which identifies security requirements for a class of security devices (for example, smart cards used to provide digital signatures, or network firewalls) relevant to that user for a particular purpose. Product vendors can choose to implement products that ...
Network access control (NAC) is an approach to computer security that attempts to unify endpoint security technology (such as antivirus, host intrusion prevention, and vulnerability assessment), user or system authentication and network security enforcement.
The use of STIGs enables a methodology for securing protocols within networks, servers, computers, and logical designs to enhance overall security. These guides, when implemented, enhance security for software, hardware, physical and logical architectures to further reduce vulnerabilities.
Security requirements are applicable to the information sent over the network. The discipline dealing with security over a network is called Network security. [11] The X.800 Recommendation: [1] provides a general description of security services and related mechanisms, which may be provided by the Reference Model; and; defines the positions ...
ISO/IEC 27001:2013 (Information technology – Security techniques – Information security management systems – Requirements) is a widely recognized certifiable standard. ISO/IEC 27001 specifies a number of firm requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining and improving an ISMS, and in Annex A there is a suite of information ...
FIPS PUB 140-2 Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules 2001, defines four increasing security levels; FIPS PUB 171 Key Management Using ANSI X9.17 (ANSI X9.17-1985) 1992, based on DES; FIPS PUB 180-2 Secure Hash Standard (SHS) 2002 defines the SHA family; FIPS PUB 181 Automated Password Generator (APG) 1993
