FIPS 140 (Federal Information Processing Standards Publication 140) is a U.S. government standard that specifies security requirements for cryptographic modules used to protect sensitive information.
As technology evolves, so does the FIPS 140 standard, with new standards reflecting advancements in cryptography, emerging threats, and the need for stronger security in the digital age. "FIPS 140 – 2025 and beyond" refers to the future trajectory of the FIPS 140 standard, particularly as cybersecurity challenges increase in complexity.
