Thales Products validated to FIPS 140

FIPS 140 is one of many cryptographic standards maintained by the Computer Security division of NIST, the US National Institute for Standards and Technology. (NIST website- Computer Security Division). NIST, in conjunction with the Canadian Communications Security Establishment (CSE) operate the Crypto Module Validation Program (CMVP), through which security products are validated.
