FIPS 140 Has Long Been a Time-Consuming, Costly, and Frustrating Process

Traditional FIPS validation involves three phases—Documentation, Testing, and Validation—and typically takes 2+ years to complete. The complexity has only increased during the transition to FIPS 140-3.

Three Phases, Too Much Time

When you work with a FIPS consultant and a certification lab, FIPS certification has three main phases: Documentation, Testing, and Validation. This process can take two+ years, not counting the time required to develop the cryptography software.

A Complex Collaborative Process

It requires extensive collaboration with a FIPS consultant, your NIST-authorized certification lab, and NIST itself. More recently, as the industry has been transitioning from FIPS 140-2 to FIPS 140-3, this process has been taking much longer.

Validation Doesn't End at Certification

FIPS Validation is not a one-time project, expense, and headache. FIPS validated software often needs to be revalidated due to CVEs and changing requirements. Otherwise, your FIPS certificate will go 'historical', and you will no longer be able to use it to support new federal acquisitions.
