The Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) Publication 140-2, FIPS PUB 140-2, is a U.S. government computer security 
standard used to accredit cryptographic modules. It is titled “Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules”. The initial publication 
was on May 25, 2001 and was last updated December 3, 2002.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) issued the FIPS 140 Publication Series to coordinate the requirements and 
standards for cryptography modules that include both hardware and software components. 

Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2 Level 2 Certification requires drives to go through government agencies 
certifications to add requirements for physical tamper-evidence and role-based authentication.

Level 2 improves upon the physical security mechanisms of a Level 1 (lowest level of security) cryptographic module by requiring 
features that show evidence of tampering, including tamper-evident coatings or seals that must be broken to attain physical access to the 
plaintext cryptographic keys and critical security parameters (CSPs) within the module, or pick-resistant locks on covers or doors to 
protect against unauthorized physical access.
