About FIPS 140
FIPS 140-2 / FIPS 140-3 are a joint effort by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the United States and the Communications Security Establishment Canada (CSEC), under the Canadian government. The Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP), headed by NIST, provides module and algorithm testing for FIPS 140, which applies to Federal agencies using validated cryptographic modules to protect sensitive government data in computer and telecommunication systems. FIPS 140 provides stringent third-party assurance of security claims on any product containing cryptography that may be purchased by a government agency.
FIPS 140 is mandated by law in the U.S. and very strictly enforced in Canada. FIPS 140 has gained worldwide recognition as an important benchmark for third party validations of encryption products of all kinds. A FIPS 140 validation of a product provides end users with a high degree of product security, assurance, and dependability.
About Ribbon Communications, Inc.
Ribbon Communications, Inc. is a leader in IP networking with proven expertise in delivering secure, reliable and scalable next-generation infrastructure and subscriber solutions. The Ribbon line of Session Border Controllers (SBC 5400) help mid-sized and large enterprises take advantage of cost-saving SIP trunking services by securing their network from IP-based attacks, unifying SIP-based communications and controlling traffic in the network.
Ribbon’s SBC 5400 Session Border Controller is a high-performance air-cooled, 2U, IP encryption appliance that features a unique architecture design that differs from other session border controllers on the market today by aggregating all of the session border functionality – security, encryption, transcoding, call routing, and session management – into a single device, and then distributing those functions to embedded and modular hardware within the device. The SBC 5400 provides secure SIP-based communications with robust security, reduced latency, real-time encryption (VOIP signaling and media traffic), media transcoding, flexible SIP session routing, and policy management.
