The Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) Publication 140-2, (FIPS PUB 140-2) is a U.S. government computer security standard used to accredit cryptographic modules. The standard is issued and maintained by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
Computer products that use FIPS 140-2 accredited cryptographic modules in their FIPS-accredited mode can only use FIPS approved security functions such as AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), SHA-1 (Secure Hash Algorithm), and higher level protocols such as TLS v1.0 as explicitly allowed in the FIPS 140-2 standard and implementation guides.
Cryptography in Client Automation deals with the following aspects:
FIPS 140-2 specifies the requirements for using cryptographic algorithms within a security system protecting sensitive but unclassified data.
Client Automation supports FIPS-compliant techniques for cryptography. Client Automation incorporates the RSA BSafe and Crypto-C ME v2.1 cryptographic libraries, which have been validated as meeting the FIPS 140-2 Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules.
