About FIPS
The Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) Publication 140-2 is a U.S. Government Computer Security Standard 
used to accredit cryptographic modules. It is titled 'Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules (FIPS PUB 140-2)' and 
is issued by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
Purpose
This standard specifies the security requirements that will be satisfied by a cryptographic module utilized within a security 
system protecting sensitive but unclassified information. The standard provides four increasing, qualitative levels of security: 
Level 1, Level 2, Level 3 and Level 4. These levels are intended to cover the wide range of potential applications and 
environments in which cryptographic modules may be employed.

Level 2 security
Security Level 2 enhances the physical security mechanisms of a Security Level 1 cryptographic module by adding the 
requirement for tamper-evidence, which includes the use of tamper-evident coatings or seals on removable covers of the 
module. Tamper-evident coatings or seals are placed on a cryptographic module so that the coating or seal must be broken 
to attain physical access to the critical security parameters (CSP) within the module. Tamper-evident seals are placed on 
covers to protect against unauthorized physical access. In addition Security Level  2  requires,  at  a  minimum,  role-based 
authentication in which a cryptographic module authenticates the authorization of an operator to assume a specific role and 
perform a corresponding set of services.
