Description / Abstract:
This International Standard specifies the security requirements
for a cryptographic module utilised within a security system
protecting sensitive information in computer and telecommunication
systems. This International Standard defines four security levels
for cryptographic modules to provide for a wide spectrum of data
sensitivity (e.g. low value administrative data, million dollar
funds transfers, life protecting data, personal identity
information, and sensitive information used by government) and a
diversity of application environments (e.g. a guarded facility, an
office, removable media, and a completely unprotected location).
This International Standard specifies four security levels for each
of 11 requirement areas with each security level increasing
security over the preceding level.
This International Standard specifies security requirements
specified intended to maintain the security provided by a
cryptographic module and compliance to this International Standard
is not sufficient to ensure that a particular module is secure or
that the security provided by the module is sufficient and
acceptable to the owner of the information that is being
protected
