We all transmit and store sensitive and confidential electronic
data in our everyday lives. Consumers send their credit card
numbers across the Internet to make online purchases. Corporations
store financial and medical information. This data must be
protected and encryption (or cryptographic technologies) is the
last line of defense against unauthorized access to this precious
information. The Federal Information Processing Standard 140 (FIPS
140) is an internationally-recognized standard for assessing and
validating that the cryptographic technologies used in our computer
systems and networks are secure. The FIPS 140 validation process
can be confusing and mystifying to the uninitiated. FIPS 140
Demystified: An Introductory Guide for Developers is the first book
to unravel the complexities and intricacies of this product testing
process. In this book, the reader will learn: What the FIPS 140
standards cover How much the testing process costs in terms of
hours and money Who needs to be involved in the process What
practices help ensure a successful validation How examples
demonstrate real-world situations and solutions What the issues are
with FIPS 140 What the future holds for FIPS 140 Leveraging the
experience of many FIPS 140 validation projects, the authors have
gathered valuable lessons learned to produce this book. It removes
the clouds of uncertainty about the validation process and shines a
light on the best practices to follow on the path toward success.
FIPS 140 Demystified: An Introductory Guide for Developers is an
essential tool to help product developers understand the complex
FIPS 140 security requirements and how to complete a successful
