Corsec would like to congratulate our partner, Hughes Network Systems, LLC, on completing the Federal Information Processing Standard Publication 140-2 (FIPS 140-2<\/a><\/span>) validation process on their Networks IPsec IP Gateway Server.<\/p>\n To achieve this milestone, Hughes partnered with Corsec, completing a Level 1 validation as seen in certificate #4448<\/a>. For more information on the validation and to find additional details on the module\u2019s security policy, visit NIST\u2019s validated modules site<\/a>.<\/p>\n For more information on engineering your product to meet Federal and regulated industry security requirements,\u00a0schedule time to speak to a Corsec engineer<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n FIPS 140-2<\/a><\/span> \/\u00a0FIPS 140-3<\/a><\/span> are a joint effort by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the United States and the Communications Security Establishment Canada (CSEC), under the Canadian government. The Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP), headed by NIST, provides module and algorithm testing for FIPS 140, which applies to Federal agencies using validated cryptographic modules to protect sensitive government data in computer and telecommunication systems. FIPS 140 provides stringent third-party assurance of security claims on any product containing cryptography that may be purchased by a government agency.<\/span><\/p>\n FIPS 140 is mandated by law in the U.S. and very strictly enforced in Canada. FIPS 140 has gained worldwide recognition as an important benchmark for third party validations of encryption products of all kinds. A FIPS 140 validation of a product provides end users with a high degree of product security, assurance, and dependability.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Hughes is a global leader in broadband satellite technology and managed network services for home and office. Hughes\u2019 broadband satellite systems enable operators and enterprises to deliver a comprehensive range of services including broadband Internet access, cellular backhaul, communications on the move, and VoIP telephony.<\/p>\n The Hughes JUPITER\u2122 System is a broadband satellite system designed to support high-throughput satellite communications and offers a range of operations for optimized traffic capacity, terminal performance, Gateway (GW) design, and network management. It consists of VSAT satellite terminals, single rack or multi rack JUPITER GWs (facilities used to host the equipment providing uplink and downlink connectivity to the satellite), and the capabilities to manage these devices over the network. The IPsec IPGW is a JUPITER GW component that can reside either on the JUPITER GW or outside the JUPITER GW in a customer data center. It is used to provide Internet access for associated terminals, perform IP acceleration and routing of packets between terminals and the Internet, and encrypt user traffic between itself and HT Satellite Router terminals via IPsec tunnels.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n For two decades Corsec\u00a0<\/strong>has\u00a0assisted companies through the IT security certification process for\u00a0FIPS 140-2<\/a> \/ FIPS 140-3<\/a><\/span><\/strong>,<\/span>\u00a0Common Criteria<\/strong><\/a><\/span> (CC), CSfC<\/a><\/span><\/strong>, and the DoD\u2019s APL<\/strong><\/a>.
