Kingston's Encrypted USB flash drives are FIPS compliant, approved for use under the US government standard body NIST

FIPS Certification

The Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) are U.S. government standards for information technology and computer security. The FIPS program is run by the National Institute of Standards (NIST). NIST FIPS 140 is the cryptography standard program required by the US federal government for protection of sensitive data. All products using cryptography in use by civilian and military US federal agencies must comply with FIPS 140. The latest FIPS version is 140-3.

Obtaining FIPS 140 validation requires a rigorous testing process by an accredited testing laboratory. The results are then reviewed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) which issues a FIPS 140 validation certificate. Visit the website.
