FIPS 140-2 (Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules) is a security accreditation program for cryptographic modules in software that is used by government departments and industries that deal with "sensitive, but not classified" information. Validation is coordinated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
CA Directory utilizes an embedded cryptographic module that has been validated as meeting the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2 Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules.
