Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) is a standard for the encryption of data and messages in flight developed by the following two government bodies:
- The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the United States
- The Communications Security Establishment (CSE) in Canada
FIPS standards are either recommended or mandated for use in federal government-operated IT systems in the United States and Canada. FIPS is a complex topic with many interrelated aspects. This guide attempts to introduce the concepts and how those concepts apply to the Pyramid platform in order to configure the platform to be FIPS Compliant.
