RSA BSAFE(R) Crypto-J 3.3.3 encryption software has received validation
that it conforms to the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS)
140-1 security requirements for cryptographic modules. FIPS 140 validation
through the FIPS 140-1 Cryptographic Module Validation Program is required
before any technology vendor can provide federal departments and agencies
with information technology products. This requirement ensures agencies use
only tested cryptographic products and applications to protect sensitive
information in their computer and telecommunications systems.
With the FIPS validation, RSA BSAFE Crypto-J 3.3.3 licensees may use its
FIPS-approved standard public-key encryption algorithms, symmetric
encryption algorithms, message digest algorithms and other important
security components to obtain FIPS 140-1 validation for their own products.
The RSA BSAFE Crypto-J 3.3.3 validation removes many procurement and
technology deployment barriers for third parties developing and selling
secure software applications to U.S. and Canadian government agencies.
AND
The FIPS 140-1 validation is an important step for RSA BSAFE Crypto-J
software because it provides a standard for federal organizations using
security systems that provide protection for sensitive or valuable data
designed for the Java environment," said Victor Chang, vice president of
the Developer Solutions division at RSA Security.
