Standards and Validations

When appropriate, we submit SafeNet products for validation/certification against international standards in the security, crypto, and data protection fields. This chapter discusses the major certifications that we routinely seek.

Note:  If your application or your milieu does not require that HSM products carry validations like NIST's FIPS, or Common Criteria EAL, then this section would be of limited interest, except possibly for the reassurance that we design, test, manufacture, and handle our products

This chapter contains the following sections:

•About FIPS Validation

•About HSM NOT in FIPS140-2 Approved Mode

•NIST SP 800-131A: Changes to FIPS-Supported Algorithms Effective January 2014

•Common Criteria
