Table 1. OPSWAT Cryptographic Module FIPS 140-3 Certification Summary
Meeting Recognized Security Standards
FIPS 140-3 is the latest U.S. government standard for cryptographic module validation, aligned with modern security requirements and international best practices.
Validation under FIPS 140-3 confirms that OPSWAT’s cryptographic module has undergone independent testing to ensure:
- Secure encryption of sensitive data
- Robust key generation and management
- Protection against known cryptographic vulnerabilities
This provides organizations with confidence that their data is protected using tested and validated cryptographic components.
Validated Cryptography Across the OPSWAT Platform
The OPSWAT Cryptographic Module is a software-based, general-purpose cryptographic library designed to protect sensitive information through secure encryption and key management.
This validated module is integrated across multiple OPSWAT solutions, including:
- Inquest
By embedding FIPS 140-3 validated cryptography into these products, OPSWAT ensures consistent and reliable data protection across diverse deployment scenarios.
How OPSWAT Solutions Leverage Validated Cryptography
The integration of the OPSWAT Cryptographic Module across key solutions ensures that sensitive data remains protected at every stage of the file handling lifecycle.
- MetaDefender Core
Leverages validated cryptography to secure file uploads, scanning workflows, and data transfers; sensitive content is protected during advanced threat detection and sanitization processes.
- MetaDefender Kiosk
Uses validated cryptographic mechanisms to safeguard data as files are transferred from removable media, preventing unauthorized access and ensuring secure handling in high-risk entry points.
- MetaDefender Managed File Transfer (MFT)
Applies FIPS 140-3 validated encryption to secure file movement across networks, supporting the safe exchange of sensitive information between users, systems, and external partners.
- Inquest
Incorporates trusted cryptographic functions to protect data during deep file inspection and threat analysis, ensuring secure processing of potentially malicious or sensitive content.
