The National Institute of Standards and Technology announces that it plans to develop Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-3, which will supersede FIPS 140-2, Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules. FIPS 140-2, approved by the Secretary of Commerce and announced in the Federal Register (June 27, 2001, Volume 66, Number 124, Pages 34154-34155), identifies requirements for four levels of security for cryptographic modules that are utilized by Federal agencies to protect the security of Federal information systems. The Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) (Public Law 107-347) requires that all Federal agencies and their contractors use only those cryptographic-based security systems that were validated to FIPS 140-2 or to its predecessor, FIPS 140-1.
