iStorage KANGURU Level 3 certification for datAshur PRO+C PRO+A encrypted flash drives
iStorage, a manufacturer of encrypted storage media, announced that they are the first and only company in the world to have FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certified hardware for encrypted USB flash drives.

FIPS 140-3 certification expectations

For now, encrypted drives are certified datAshur PRO+C and datAshur PRO+A, but they will likely be joined by other iStorage solutions in the near future. FIPS, or Federal Information Processing Standards, is a set of standards promulgated by the United States government. These standards establish requirements to ensure computer security and interoperability of solutions.

The 140 series, on the other hand, directly addresses the coordination of requirements and standards for cryptographic modules including both hardware and software components for use by departments and agencies of the US federal government.

FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certification represents an advance in cryptographic security standards. This level of validation includes stringent requirements for tamper resistance, cryptographic key management and physical security. It guarantees robustness against sophisticated attacks while protecting sensitive data.

The most significant feature that distinguishes FIPS 140-3 from its predecessor, FIPS 140-2, is its compliance with ISO/IEC 19790 and new improvements in security requirements. FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certification is recognized worldwide and is used by government agencies, defense contractors, financial institutions and healthcare providers to protect sensitive and classified information.

Obtaining this certification involves rigorous testing under the Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP), a process jointly conducted by the US-based National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) i Canadian Centre for Cyber Security (CCCS). These improvements reflect the datAshur PRO+C and PRO+A's ability to meet the most demanding security expectations, setting a new benchmark for encrypted USB flash drives.

Achieving FIPS 140-3 Level 3 validation for datAshur PRO+C and PRO+A adds tremendous credibility to the iStorage/Kanguru brand. This milestone underscores our commitment to providing the most secure data storage solutions to the U.S. government, corporations and organizations around the world
