"The FIPS 140-2 validation process is a time consuming and complex task," said Eugene Polulyakh, technical manager of Aspect Labs, a third-party government accredited FIPS testing lab. "Companies that achieve FIPS 140-2 certification must meet numerous stringent security requirements as defined by the NIST. Customers using FIPS 140-2 certified products can be confident they have chosen a technology that was independently tested to ensure compliance with cryptographic and security standards."
