<p>Corsec would like to congratulate our partner, Dynatrace, Inc. on completing the Federal Information Processing Standard Publication 140-2 (<span class="s1" style="color: #008000;"><a style="color: #008000;" href="https://sitdev.corsec.com/fips-140-2/">FIPS 140-2</a></span>) validation on their Dynatrace Java Crypto Module.</p>
<p>To achieve this milestone, Dynatrace partnered with Corsec, completing a Level 1 validation as seen in certificate <a href="https://csrc.nist.gov/projects/cryptographic-module-validation-program/certificate/4004">#4004</a>. For more information on the validation and to find additional details on the Crypto Module security policy, visit <a href="https://csrc.nist.gov/Projects/cryptographic-module-validation-program/Validated-Modules/Search"><span style="color: #3366ff;">NIST’s validated modules site</span></a>.</p>
<p>For more information on engineering your product to meet Federal and regulated industry security requirements, <a href="https://sitdev.corsec.com/contact-us/"><span style="color: #3366ff;">schedule time to speak to a Corsec engineer</span></a>.</p>

<p><span class="s1"><span style="color: #008000;"><a style="color: #008000;" href="https://sitdev.corsec.com/fips-140-2/">FIPS 140-2</a></span> / <span style="color: #008000;"><a style="color: #008000;" href="https://sitdev.corsec.com/fips-140-3/">FIPS 140-3</a></span> 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.</span></p>
<p><span class="s1">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.</span></p>

			<p>The Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP) is a part of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) which operates under the Department of Commerce.  The CMVP&#8217;s role is to promote the use of validated cryptographic modules and provide Federal agencies with a security metric to use in procuring equipment containing validated cryptographic modules, this primarily occurs through management and oversight of the testing required as part of the <a href="https://sitdev.corsec.com/fips-140-2/"><span style="color: #339966;">FIPS 140-2</span></a> / <a href="https://sitdev.corsec.com/fips-140-3/"><span style="color: #339966;">FIPS 140-3</span></a> validation standards.</p>
<p>The CMVP is currently experiencing longer than usual evaluation periods within the <a href="https://sitdev.corsec.com/fips-140-3/"><span style="color: #339966;">FIPS 140</span></a> programs. To rectify and hopefully assist in shortening those wait times, the CMVP is looking to automate processes and procedures related to the evaluation and testing of these cryptographic modules.</p>
<p>To support this newly identified objective, the CMVP has developed a <span style="color: #3366ff;"><a style="color: #3366ff;" href="https://www.nccoe.nist.gov/sites/default/files/library/project-descriptions/cmvp-project-description-draft.pdf">draft document</a></span> which outlines assumptions, challenges, current architectures, requirements, and guidance.  The ultimate goal is to identify ideas and recommendations on how to automate some of the more tedious and manual elements of the <a href="https://sitdev.corsec.com/fips-140-3/"><span style="color: #339966;">FIPS 140</span></a> evaluation process.  Specifically stating they hope to improve efficiencies and timelines within CMVP operations.</p>
<p>Some of the current challenges outlined include:</p>
<ul>
<li>An increase in complex modules being evaluated</li>
<li>A lack of human resources to address the influx in evaluations</li>
<li>Insufficient information/documentation submissions</li>
<li>Operating Environment Updates</li>
</ul>
<p>This is not the first time the CMVP has turned to automation, as they recently implemented a change to the methods for testing algorithms within the Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program (CAVP). Read more about that transition <span style="color: #3366ff;"><a style="color: #3366ff;" href="https://sitdev.corsec.com/algorithm-automation/">here</a></span>.</p>
<p>Although the effects of such an effort are not expected to make an impact in the near term, it is a positive sign that the CMVP is actively trying to improve things in the long run.</p>

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.</span></p>
<p><span class="s1">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.</span></p>

<p>The Dell EMC VNX 6 Gb/s SAS I/O Module with Encryption is a high-density SAS controller executing specialized firmware that provides Data At Rest Encryption (D@RE) for Dell EMC VNX Storage Arrays. D@RE provides data security and offers a convenient means to decommission all drives in the system at once. Information is protected from unauthorized access even when drives are physically removed from the system. The VNX 6 Gb/s SAS I/O Module with Encryption is an optimized solution for native SAS/SATA5 HBA6 applications.</p>
