What you Need to Know About FIPS 140-3

The Federal Information Processing Standard 140-3 (FIPS 140-3) is a co-sponsored security standard by the U.S. and Canada, designed for hardware, software, and firmware solutions. In the U.S. government and other sectors that require high security, such as banking, finance, and data centers, requires any solution utilizing cryptography to complete FIPS 140-3 validation to guarantee a high level of security assurance and reliability.

Pioneering Digital Security

Upgrading or retrofitting an entire facility can be costly. The Schlage AD 402 wireless lock offers a cost-effective solution by minimizing the need for extensive wiring. Wireless solutions are not only convenient and efficient to install, but they are also ideal for non-invasive applications in sensitive areas and aging or historic buildings.

The Schlage AD 402 will distinguish itself by being one of the first products on the market to achieve dual validation for both the FIPS 201-2 and FIPS 140-3 standard.

Federal Information Processing Standards 

The Federal Information Processing Standard 201-2 is a standard set by the United States Federal Government, that frames up the use of Personal Identity Verification (PIV) requirements for all federal agencies and federal contractors.

For FIPS-201-2 solutions that are mandated by the federal government to be open architecture and comply with the HSPD-12/FIPS201-2/PIV directive, look no further than Allegion’s portfolio.
