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).
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 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.
Validation Program
Products that claim conformance to this standard are validated by the Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP) which is a joint
effort between National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Communications Security Establishment (CSE) of the
Government of Canada. Products validated as conforming to FIPS 140-2 are accepted by the Federal agencies of both countries for the
protection of sensitive information (United States) or Designated Information (Canada).
In the CMVP, vendors of cryptographic modules use independent, accredited testing laborites to have their modules tested. National
Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) accredited laboratories perform cryptographic module compliance/conformance
testing.

Seagate Enterprise SED
The SEDs referenced in this Product Manual have been validated by CMVP and have been thoroughly tested by a NVLAP accredited lab
to satisfy FIPS 140-2 Level 2 requirements. In order to operate in FIPS Approved Mode of Operation, these SEDs require security
initialization. For more information, refer to 'Security Rules' section in the 'Security Policy' document uploaded on the NIST website. To

Security Level 2
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 coat-
ings 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 (example shown in Figure 14, page 34) 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 ser-
vices.
