== Overview == FIPS 140-2 specifies the [[security]] requirements for a [[cryptographic module]] used within a [[security system]] protecting [[sensitive information]] in [[computer system|computer]] and [[telecommunication]] [[system]]s (including [[voice system]]s) and provides four increasing, qualitative levels of [[security]] intended to cover a wide range of potential applications and environments. Agencies are required to [[encrypt]] agency [[data]], where appropriate, using [[NIST]]-validated [[cryptographic module]]s as specified in FIPS 140-2. This [[standard]] is used to ensure [[encryption technologies]] used by the U.S. Government meet minimally acceptable requirements and can demonstrate an acceptable level of conformance to the [[standard]] that is commensurate with the [[risk]] the U.S. Government finds acceptable when using [[encryption technologies]] to protect U.S. Government [[information]] and [[information system]]s.
