FIPS 101: Making cryptography trustworthy, testable, and certifiable for secured connected digital health devices
Why FIPS matters: protecting security and performance for smart digital health devices in crowded, mission-critical healthcare settings
Published on October 27, 2026
Connected digital health devices are only as trustworthy as the cryptography protecting them. VA facilities, the Military Health System, and any organization selling under federal contract increasingly require that wireless data be protected by cryptographic modules validated under FIPS 140-3. With FIPS 140-2 certificates moving to the CMVP Historical List, device makers who wait risk delays in federal healthcare procurement. This white paper, written jointly by Ezurio and Infineon Technologies, explains what FIPS validation means for Wi-Fi, why the supplicant and the data-and-management-frame layers each need coverage, and how pre-validated components can shorten the path to certification.
In this whitepaper, Ezurio and Infineon walk through the validation process, ongoing maintenance obligations, and how the Sona IF513 and Sona IF573 Wi-Fi 6E + Bluetooth modules, built on Infineon AIROC™ CYW55513 and CYW55573, support a FIPS 140-3 Level 1 approach.
