			<p><span data-contrast="auto">In the <a href="https://www.corsec.com/fips-myths/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">first installment</a> of this series, we explored why incorporating a FIPS-validated cryptographic module into a product does not automatically make the product <span style="color: #008000;"><a style="color: #008000;" href="https://www.corsec.com/fips-140-3/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FIPS 140-3</a></span> validated. While understanding validation boundaries is critical, another common misconception often shapes organizations&#8217; decisions much earlier in the product lifecycle.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">Many development teams assume FIPS 140-3 only matters if they plan to sell directly to the U.S. federal government. If federal contracts are not part of the business strategy, validation is often viewed as unnecessary.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">At first glance, this assumption seems reasonable. After all, FIPS standards are developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for use by federal agencies. However, today&#8217;s cybersecurity landscape has significantly expanded the role of FIPS validation well beyond traditional government procurement.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}"> </span></p>

<p><span data-contrast="auto">While FIPS 140-3 originated as a federal security standard, its influence now extends across numerous commercial industries, regulated sectors, and global technology markets. Organizations pursuing FIPS validation are often motivated by customer requirements, contractual obligations, regulatory expectations, and competitive positioning and not by direct federal sales. Many organizations discover that FIPS validation becomes important because their customers expect it, their partners require it, or their industry recognizes it as an established benchmark for cryptographic assurance.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}"> </span></p>

<p><span data-contrast="auto">FIPS publications are issued by NIST, and federal agencies are required to use validated cryptography for protecting sensitive government information. Because of this, many organizations assume the standard applies exclusively to government systems.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">However, cybersecurity expectations have evolved considerably. As cyber threats have become more sophisticated, many organizations have adopted established security frameworks originally developed for government use. FIPS validation has become one of the most widely recognized methods for demonstrating that cryptographic functionality has undergone independent testing and evaluation.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">Today, many procurement teams consider FIPS validation an indicator of security maturity rather than simply a government requirement.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}"> </span></p>

<p><span data-contrast="auto">Organizations are often surprised by where FIPS validation appears during the sales process. Some examples include:</span></p>

</ul>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">In many cases, customers include FIPS requirements in procurement documentation even when they are not federal agencies themselves.

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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="wpb-content-wrapper"><div class="vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid"><div class="wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12"><div class="vc_column-inner"><div class="wpb_wrapper">
	<div class="wpb_text_column wpb_content_element" >
		<div class="wpb_wrapper">
			<p>On June 22, 2026, the White House issued Executive Order 14412, <strong>“Securing the Nation Against Advanced Cryptographic Attacks,”</strong> signaling a major acceleration in the federal government&#8217;s transition to post-quantum cryptography (PQC). The Executive Order recognizes a growing national security concern: adversaries can collect encrypted data today and potentially decrypt it in the future once large-scale quantum computers become operational, a threat commonly referred to as <em>“harvest now, decrypt later.”</em></p>
<p>While the Order is directed primarily at federal agencies, the implications extend far beyond government networks. For technology vendors that sell into the federal market, the message is clear: <strong>quantum readiness is becoming a compliance and procurement issue, not just a technical roadmap discussion.</strong></p>

		</div>
	</div>

	<div class="wpb_text_column wpb_content_element" >
		<div class="wpb_wrapper">
			<h3>A Faster Federal Timeline for Post-Quantum Security</h3>
<div>
<p>The Executive Order directs federal agencies to accelerate their migration to NIST-approved post-quantum cryptographic standards and establish agency-wide PQC migration strategies. Agencies must inventory cryptographic assets, designate PQC migration leaders, prioritize high-value systems, and transition critical use cases to PQC by 2030 and 2031. The Order also calls for expanded guidance from NIST, NSA, and DHS, along with pilot implementations to demonstrate successful migrations.</p>
<p>Perhaps most significant for industry, the accompanying White House Fact Sheet states that the Federal Acquisition Regulatory Council will require covered contractors to meet certain federal cybersecurity standards and vulnerability disclosure requirements by the end of 2030.</p>
<div>For federal product companies, this represents another clear signal that cybersecurity certifications and validated security claims will increasingly influence procurement decisions and contract eligibility.</div>
</div>

		</div>
	</div>

	<div class="wpb_text_column wpb_content_element" >
		<div class="wpb_wrapper">
			<h3 data-start="2608" data-end="2759"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Why FIPS 140-3 Matters More Than Ever</span></h3>
<div>
<p>One of the most important details in the Executive Order is its direct reference to the <strong>Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP)</strong> and <span style="color: #339966;"><a style="color: #339966;" href="https://www.corsec.com/fips-140-3/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>FIPS 140-3</strong></a></span>, the federal standard governing cryptographic modules. The Order explicitly defines the CMVP by referencing FIPS 140-3, underscoring the central role validated cryptography will play in the federal government&#8217;s PQC migration. For vendors, the challenge is not simply adopting new post-quantum algorithms.</p>
<p>The federal market will increasingly expect cryptographic implementations to be incorporated into validated cryptographic modules and supported by formal assurance programs. Organizations should begin assessing how their cryptographic architectures will evolve as post-quantum algorithms become integrated into future FIPS 140-3 validations.</p>
<p>Many vendors have historically viewed FIPS validation as a program needed only when a procurement requirement explicitly calls for it. The new Executive Order suggests a broader reality: <strong>validated cryptography is becoming foundational to federal quantum readiness.</strong></p>
</div>

		</div>
	</div>

	<div class="wpb_text_column wpb_content_element" >
		<div class="wpb_wrapper">
			<h3>The Growing Connection to Common Criteria and NIAP</h3>
<div>
<p>The Executive Order does not directly mandate <span style="color: #ff6600;"><a style="color: #ff6600;" href="https://www.corsec.com/common-criteria/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Common Criteria certification</a></span>. However, federal agencies face a practical challenge when adopting quantum-resistant technologies: they must be confident that security functions continue to operate as intended after significant architectural changes.</p>
<p>This is where the National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP) and Common Criteria evaluations become increasingly relevant.</p>
<p>Historically, federal procurement policies have emphasized the use of NIAP-approved products for many cybersecurity categories. Internal federal guidance has long linked the use of Common Criteria-certified products and FIPS-validated cryptography as complementary assurance mechanisms for technology acquisitions.</p>
<p>As vendors redesign security products to incorporate:</p>
<ul>
<li>Quantum-resistant key exchange</li>
<li>New digital signature algorithms</li>
<li>Hybrid cryptographic implementations</li>
<li>Updated trust architectures</li>
</ul>
<p>those changes may impact both cryptographic validation boundaries and evaluated security functionality.</p>
<p>For organizations already maintaining NIAP certifications, quantum migration should be viewed through a compliance lens rather than solely a technical one. Engineering changes introduced to support PQC may have implications for future certification maintenance, evaluation activities, and product roadmaps.</p>
</div>

		</div>
	</div>

	<div class="wpb_text_column wpb_content_element" >
		<div class="wpb_wrapper">
			<h3><span style="font-size: 16px;">What About DoD STIGs?</span></h3>
<div>
<p>The Department of Defense will face many of the same quantum migration challenges outlined in the Executive Order. Although <span style="color: #3366ff;"><a style="color: #3366ff;" href="https://www.corsec.com/stig/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DoD Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs)</a></span> are not specifically addressed in the Order, they play an important role in how secure technologies are deployed within defense environments.</p>
<p>Historically, STIG requirements evolve to reflect emerging federal cybersecurity mandates and approved technologies. As NIST, NSA, and other agencies publish guidance for post-quantum implementation, vendors should expect quantum-resilient cryptography to gradually influence secure configuration baselines and deployment expectations across defense environments.</p>
<p>For products deployed within DoD environments, compliance teams should monitor future updates for:</p>
<ul>
<li>Cryptographic configuration requirements</li>
<li>Key management practices</li>
<li>Certificate and PKI guidance</li>
<li>Approved algorithm usage</li>
<li>Secure communications controls</li>
</ul>
<p>Vendors that proactively align product roadmaps with emerging federal quantum guidance will be better positioned when future requirements are incorporated into operational frameworks.</p>
</div>

		</div>
	</div>

	<div class="wpb_text_column wpb_content_element" >
		<div class="wpb_wrapper">
			<h3><span style="font-size: 16px;">Compliance Is Becoming a Competitive Advantage</span></h3>
<div>
<p>The most important takeaway from the Executive Order is that quantum readiness is no longer a distant research topic. It is entering the realm of procurement policy, cybersecurity requirements, and compliance strategy.</p>
<p>Federal buyers are not simply looking for products that support post-quantum cryptography; they will increasingly need assurance that those capabilities are implemented securely, validated appropriately, and deployable in regulated environments.</p>
<p>Organizations that begin planning now by developing a post-quantum migration strategy will be better positioned to maintain eligibility for federal opportunities as the government&#8217;s quantum transition accelerates.</p>

<p>Corsec would like to congratulate our partner, Citrix (Cloud Software Group), on completing the Federal Information Processing Standard Publication 140-3 (<span style="color: #008000;"><a style="color: #008000;" href="https://www.corsec.com/fips-140-3/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FIPS 140-3</a></span>) validation process on their NetScaler MPX product. Completion of the FIPS 140-3 validation process provides reassurance and third-party confirmation that the product meets rigorous government security requirements for protecting sensitive data.</p>
<p>To achieve this benchmark, Citrix partnered with Corsec, completing the validation at a Level 2 as seen in certificate #<a href="https://csrc.nist.gov/projects/cryptographic-module-validation-program/certificate/5342" target="_blank" rel="noopener">5342</a>. For more information on the validation and to find additional details on the module’s security policy, visit <a href="https://csrc.nist.gov/Projects/cryptographic-module-validation-program/Validated-Modules/Search" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NIST’s validated modules site</a>.</p>

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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

<p>Corsec would like to congratulate our partner, Stryker Corporation, on completing the Federal Information Processing Standard Publication 140-3 (<span style="color: #008000;"><a style="color: #008000;" href="https://www.corsec.com/fips-140-3/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FIPS 140-3</a></span>) validation process on their Stryker Badge Cryptographic Module. Completion of the FIPS 140-3 validation process provides reassurance and third-party confirmation that the module meets rigorous government security requirements for protecting sensitive data.</p>
<p>To achieve this benchmark, Stryker partnered with Corsec, completing the validation at a Level 1 as seen in certificate #<a href="https://csrc.nist.gov/projects/cryptographic-module-validation-program/certificate/5336" target="_blank" rel="noopener">5336</a>. For more information on the validation and to find additional details on the module’s security policy, visit <a href="https://csrc.nist.gov/Projects/cryptographic-module-validation-program/Validated-Modules/Search" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NIST’s validated modules site</a>.</p>
<p>To learn how to engineer your product to meet federal and regulated industry requirements—and avoid common certification delays, <a href="https://www.corsec.com/contact-us/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">schedule time to speak to a Corsec engineer</a>.</p>

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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

<p>Corsec would like to congratulate our partner, Hewlett Packard, Inc., on completing the Federal Information Processing Standard Publication 140-3 (<span style="color: #008000;"><a style="color: #008000;" href="https://www.corsec.com/fips-140-3/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FIPS 140-3</a></span>) validation process on their HP Poly Cryptographic Module. Completion of the FIPS 140-3 validation process provides reassurance and confirmation to users of the protection of sensitive information within their environment.</p>
<p>To achieve this benchmark, HP partnered with Corsec, completing the validation at a Level 1 as seen in certificate #<a href="https://csrc.nist.gov/projects/cryptographic-module-validation-program/certificate/5011" target="_blank" rel="noopener">5011</a>. For more information on the validation and to find additional details on the module’s security policy, visit <a href="https://csrc.nist.gov/Projects/cryptographic-module-validation-program/Validated-Modules/Search" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NIST’s validated modules site</a>.</p>

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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
