FIPS 140-3 certification expectations
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.
