Cryptographic Testing
FIPS 140-3 Testing
Consult our experts. We are happy to support you.
FIPS 140-3 – short for the U.S. Federal Information Processing Standard 140-3 – are security requirements for cryptographic modules related to the secure design and implementation of cryptographic modules that provide protection for sensitive or valuable data.
We also offer legacy updates for cryptographic modules previously certified under FIPS 140-2 until September 2026.
What atsec offers:
atsec US provides the following cryptographic module testing services:
- Training for FIPS 140-3 and validation process
- Assessment of your cryptographic module test readiness
- Support for the production of the security policy, finite state mode, and user documentation
- Conformance testing of cryptographic modules, resulting in a certificate issued by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Canadian Center of Cyber Security (CCCS) Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP)

Why our services are important to you:
If you plan to sell a product that includes a cryptographic module to a U.S. Federal Government agency that uses cryptographic-based security systems to protect sensitive data in computer or telecommunication systems, FIPS 140-3 certification of that product is mandatory. In addition, FIPS FIPS 140-3 certification of cryptographic modules is increasingly valued in other industry sectors (for example, banking) in which the protection of sensitive data by cryptographic-based solutions is critical. atsec is ready to partner with you to help you understand the requirements of the standard, assess your product’s readiness for FIPS 140-3 validation, and perform the conformance testing that will earn certification of your cryptographic product.

Cryptographic Algorithm Testing
Testing that cryptographic algorithms are implemented correctly is a prerequisite for FIPS 140-3 cryptographic module testing and NIAP Common Criteria evaluations.
Entropy Source Validation Testing
Documented conformance, where applicable, to the SP 800-90B is required by the CMVP for all FIPS 140-3 module validation submissions.
Common Criteria Evaluation
The Common Criteria (CC), also known as ISO 15408, is an internationally recognized standard used to specify and assess the security of IT products.
