What is FIPS 140?
FIPS 140 (Federal Information Processing Standard 140) is a U.S. government security standard for
cryptographic modules. Validation is performed by accredited laboratories under the NIST Cryptographic
Module Validation Program (CMVP). FIPS 140-3 is the current active standard; FIPS 140-2 validations
remain in effect under a transition period.
FIPS 140-3 Level 1 Validated Modules
Designed for US and Canadian Government Agencies — including Veterans Affairs Hospitals, Department of Defense, and Military — and enterprises with the most stringent cryptographic requirements.
Wi-Fi Data-in-Transit
- WPA3-Personal & Enterprise
- WPA3-Enterprise CNSA 192-bit mode
- Auth: SAE, EAP-TLS/TTLS/PEAP
TLS Data-in-Transit
- TLS 1.3 validated
- Works with any transport protocol using OpenSSL TLS APIs
- Secures application-layer data if required
Lifecycle Coverage
- Regular validation updates as NIST guidance and FIPS standards evolve
- BSP updates with updated validations included
- Non-cryptographic updates to address bug fixes and known CVEs in code
FIPS is the only true cryptographic testing & validation program in the world. Turnkey FIPS coverage — from Wi-Fi radio to application layer (TLS) — maintained across your product's full lifecycle.
Built on international standards — ISO/IEC 19790:2012 (security requirements for cryptographic modules) and ISO/IEC 24759:2017 (test methods for conformance). Available today on select Ezurio SOMs — shipping on the 60 Series SOM now; in development on Carbon AM62L with IF513, with additional SOMs under evaluation.
