Novachips Scalar-Series and Express-Series SSD Certified FIPS 140-2 Level 2 by NIST
Security validation which consists of series of requirements and standards to secure integrity of data by examining 11 areas related to design and implementation of cryptographic module
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on January 20, 2021 at 2:10 pmNovachips Co., Ltd. announced that its Scalar-Series and Express-Series SSD had been certified as a Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2 Level 2. (Cert# 3785).
FIPS 140-2 is one of the highest standards for security validation which consists of a series of requirements and standards to secure the integrity of the data by examining 11 areas related to the design and implementation of a cryptographic module. The US federal government is required to restrict technology procurement to products that use FIPS 140-2 validated encryption.
Without adopting 3rd party security components, all required cryptographic algorithms and security functions are supported by a single inhouse ASIC controller NVS3800 hardware and firmware. This design architecture allows achieving lower power consumption and immediate Zeroize service without delay factor to destroy the key and key materials via specified host commands or GPIO signal input.
“We are proud to announce our FIPS 140-2 validation from NIST. These are key milestones for Novachips,” said Daniel Kim, CEO. “This validation demonstrates our commitment to offering best-in-class flash storage products not only from data capacity but also from the data security perspective.“
By acquiring FIPS 140-2 certification on its density SSD products, the company is positioned to provide the flash storage solution to enterprise, military, and other governmental projects where the customers want reliable flash storage solution needs to keep data secure.
Certified part number products of Scalar-Series and Express-Series are available to ship out to the customers.
