Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules

Abstract

The selective application of technological and related procedural safeguards is an important responsibility of every Federal organization in providing adequate security in its Computer and telecommunication systems. This publication provides a standard to be used by Federal organizations when these organizations specify that cryptographic-based security systems are to be used to provide protection for sensitive or valuable data. Protection of a cryptographic module within a security system is necessary to maintain the confidentiality and integrity of the information protected by the module.
