Dynatrace’s Java Crypto Module Now FIPS Validated

Corsec would like to congratulate our partner, Dynatrace, Inc. on completing the Federal Information Processing Standard Publication 140-2 (FIPS 140-2) validation on their Dynatrace Java Crypto Module.

To achieve this milestone, Dynatrace partnered with Corsec, completing a Level 1 validation as seen in certificate #4004. For more information on the validation and to find additional details on the Crypto Module security policy, visit NIST’s validated modules site.

For more information on engineering your product to meet Federal and regulated industry security requirements, schedule time to speak to a Corsec engineer.

About FIPS 140

FIPS 140-2 / FIPS 140-3 are a joint effort by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the United States and the Communications Security Establishment Canada (CSEC), under the Canadian government. The Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP), headed by NIST, provides module and algorithm testing for FIPS 140, which applies to Federal agencies using validated cryptographic modules to protect sensitive government data in computer and telecommunication systems. FIPS 140 provides stringent third-party assurance of security claims on any product containing cryptography that may be purchased by a government agency.

FIPS, which is mandated by law in the U.S. and very strictly enforced in Canada, is also currently being reviewed by ISO to become an international standard. FIPS 140 has gained worldwide recognition as an important benchmark for third party validations of encryption products of all kinds. A FIPS 140 validation of a product provides end users with a high degree of product security, assurance, and dependability.
