The FIPS 140-3 Level 3 validation represents a significant advancement in cryptographic security standards. This level of validation includes stringent requirements for tamper-resistance, cryptographic key management, and physical security. It ensures that cryptographic modules can withstand sophisticated attacks while protecting sensitive data.
Building on the foundation of FIPS 140-2, FIPS 140-3 incorporates several key advancements, including alignment with ISO/IEC 19790:2012, ensuring global interoperability and compliance with international standards. Enhanced physical security measures, such as tamper-evident and tamper-resistant mechanisms, provide stronger defences against physical attacks. The new standard also addresses evolving cybersecurity threats with updated cryptographic algorithms, improved key management practices and protection against side-channel attacks. Additionally, FIPS 140-3 allows for modular testing, offering greater flexibility during validation while maintaining robust security.
Recognised globally, FIPS 140-3 Level 3 is trusted by government agencies, defence contractors, financial institutions and healthcare providers to safeguard highly confidential and classified information. This certification also assures compliance with international regulations and standards, such as GDPR and HIPAA, enabling organisations to meet the highest levels of data protection requirements while future-proofing their cryptographic systems.
Achieving this certification involves rigorous testing under the Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP), a process jointly managed by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security (CCCS). These enhancements reflect the datAshur PRO+C and PRO+A’s ability to meet the most demanding security expectations, setting a new benchmark for encrypted USB flash drives worldwide.
The iStorage datAshur PRO+C distinguishes itself as the world’s only flash drive to receive this level of certification. This achievement underscores the advanced security features of the device, which deliver the highest levels of data protection and encryption while meeting the latest U.S. government compliance standards for cryptographic modules.
