The Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2 publication, Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules, defines a set of requirements for products that encrypt sensitive data. The standard provides four levels of security intended to cover a wide range of potential applications and environments. The Security Management and Assurance (SMA) division of NIST validates cryptographic modules and cryptographic algorithm implementations. When validated, SMA publishes the vendor and validation certificate numbers with modules names.
In support of FIPS 140-2, CA Process Automation uses validated cryptographic modules from the RSA BSAFE® Crypto-J libraries. RSA is the Security Division of EMC.
