Configuring FIPS Security Mode

The device can operate in "FIPS Mode" to fully comply with Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-3, which is a security standard specified by the United States Government that is used to validate cryptographic modules (i.e., the device). The FIPS standards specify best practices and security requirements for implementing crypto algorithms, encryption schemes, handling important data, and working with various operating systems and hardware, whenever cryptographic-based security systems have to be used to protect sensitive, valuable data. FIPS also defines specific methods for encryption and specific methods for generating encryption keys.
