Why is FIPS 140-2 important? Information technology security professionals in the U.S. and Canadian federal governments, as well as the industry, recognize that a cryptographic product can be securely used for protecting sensitive, unclassified information when the product is validated against the FIP...
BREEAM(Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method) is a sustainability assessment method that is used to masterplan projects, infrastructure and buildings. Launched in 1990, by the Building Research Establishment (BRE) it sets standards for the environmental performance of buildings throug...
CMMC:The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) is a maturity-based model for handling controlled unclassified information (CUI) in the defense sector. This standard aligns with NIST SP 800-171 and NIST SP 800-172. HIPAA:The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is...

FIPS 140-2 is the overarching NIST security standard for cryptographic modules transmitting sensitive but unclassified information. FIPS 197, on the other hand, is the NIST’s publication name for the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), which specifies a FIPS-approved cryptographic algorithm that’s ...
One might reasonably expect such inter- est to result in establishment of a certification process in the next few years, whether by executive direction, regulation, or statutory action. In 2010 the National Executive Committee for Space- based PNT tasked its advisory board to assess GPS com- ...
