How it Works

A repeatable workflow across stacks:

  1. Adopt a validated cryptographic software foundation
  2. Constrain configurations to approved algorithms and policies (program-dependent)
  3. Verify using deterministic commands/logs (and capture build provenance
  4. Prove with validation artifacts + configuration guidance for audits

FAQs

What does “FIPS-ready” mean on these pages?

It means the use case is designed to run with validated cryptographic implementations and includes an evidence trail auditors can verify (validation artifacts, build provenance, and configuration guidance).

Is TLS 1.3 FIPS validated?

No—TLS is a protocol. FIPS 140 validation applies to the cryptographic implementation used underneath TLS. The TLS 1.3 use case explains how teams standardize on validated cryptographic software and produce the required evidence.

Do all use cases preserve interoperability?

Most do, but some changes can affect compatibility depending on the implementation and required algorithm constraints. The WireGuard-go use case calls out peer compatibility impacts explicitly.

How do I choose the right use case for my stack?

Pick the workload that matches where you terminate encryption (VPN, proxy, runtime, TLS library, or IPsec/IKE). If you’re unsure, request a technical walkthrough and we’ll map your environment and compliance needs.

Do FedRAMP and GovRAMP drive the same cryptographic expectations?

Both emphasize encryption backed by FIPS 140-validated cryptographic requirements wherever encryption is used. The right path depends on your specific authorization package and operational environment.
