FIPS 140-2/3

Value Proposition: Why Choose AdVran for FIPS 140-2?

FIPS 140-2 (and its successor 140-3) validation is mandatory for cryptographic modules protecting federal data. Using non-validated encryption is a compliance failure regardless of how strong the algorithm.

1. Validated Module Selection

We deploy only FIPS 140-2/3 validated cryptographic modules for encryption at rest and in transit, verified through NIST’s Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP).

2. Encryption Architecture

We design encryption architectures that use validated modules consistently—disk encryption, TLS/VPN tunnels, database encryption, and key management systems all using approved cryptography.

3. Key Management

We implement key management procedures that satisfy FIPS requirements—key generation, distribution, storage, rotation, and destruction following documented, auditable processes.

4. Compliance Documentation

We maintain evidence of FIPS validation for all cryptographic modules in use, with certificate numbers and module versions documented for audit purposes.
