Is GCP FIPS compliant?
Google Cloud Platform uses a FIPS 140-2 validated encryption module called BoringCrypto (certificate 3318) in our production environment. This means that both data in transit to the customer and between data centers, and data at rest are encrypted using FIPS 140-2 validated encryption.
Is Azure FIPS compliant?
Through the Microsoft Security Development Lifecycle (SDL), all Azure services use FIPS 140 approved algorithms for data security because the operating system uses FIPS 140 approved algorithms while operating at a hyper scale cloud.
Is AWS encryption FIPS compliant?
AWS Key Management Service (KMS) now uses FIPS 140-2 validated hardware security modules (HSM) and supports FIPS 140-2 validated endpoints, which provide independent assurances about the confidentiality and integrity of your keys.
Is Google Authenticator FedRAMP compliant?
To that end, we are proud to announce that Google Cloud Platform (GCP) has received FedRAMP High authorization to operate (ATO) for 17 products in five cloud regions, and we’ve expanded our existing FedRAMP Moderate authorization to 64 products in 17 cloud regions.
What does FIPS 140-2 mean for Google Cloud?
Google Cloud Platform uses a FIPS 140-2 validated encryption module called BoringCrypto (certificate 3318) in our production environment. This means that both data in transit to the customer and between data centers, and data at rest are encrypted using FIPS 140-2 validated encryption.
Is there a difference between FIPS 140 and 140?
FIPS 140 is much more specific, and details requirements for the use of cryptographic modules, which symmetric algorithms are allowed, which hashing algorithms are allowed, etc. Using another vendor’s cryptographic modules in a FIPS-compliant manner is not the same as having a FIPS certified solution.
Do you need FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic modules?
If you require use of FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic modules when accessing AWS US East/West, AWS GovCloud (US), or AWS Canada (Central) through use of the command line interface (CLI) or programmatically by using the APIs, the following sections provide the list of available FIPS endpoints by AWS Region.
What do you need to know about FIPS certification?
FIPS certification (The Cryptographic Module Validation Program) is also a lengthy and very expensive process whereby you must submit your cryptographic module (be it a physical hardware security module, or a software module such as a DLL file) to the government for them to review it and approve it.
