Re: FIPS-140 required?




Dan,

I think that our goal should be to create protocols that do not present significant barriers to FIPS 140 accreditation of implementations. This is not only an issue for US Government users; FIPS 140 accreditation is commonly used in the private sector as proof that a vendor's security module has strong security properties.

Cheers,
--Richard
