Federation Manager now offers Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2 compliant cryptographic libraries to encrypt data. These libraries provide a FIPS mode of operation when an environment uses only FIPS-compliant Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithms to encrypt sensitive data.
You can install Federation Manager in either FIPS_COMPAT mode or FIPS_ONLY mode.
In FIPS_COMPAT mode, Federation Manager continues to support the current set of non-FIPS algorithms and the supported FIPS-compliant algorithms.
In FIPS_ONLY mode, the environment uses only FIPS-compliant algorithms to encrypt sensitive data.
For more information about FIPS operation, see the Federation Manager Guide.
