The NIST validation certificate awarded to Nuvoton,\u00a0Certificate 4603, confirms that NCL 2.0 meets the rigorous security requirements of the FIPS 140-3 standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Globally-Recognized Security Standard<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FIPS 140-3 is the global benchmark for validating the quality and reliability of cryptographic modules. Compliance with this standard is an essential requirement for systems and applications that handle sensitive information for government agencies and financial institutions. FIPS 140-3 ensures that the cryptographic module protects the confidentiality and integrity of the data it processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>World First Cryptographic Capability Support<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nuvoton\u2019s NCL 2.0 is a firmware library that leverages the hardware cryptographic engines embedded in Nuvoton\u2019s EC and SIO chips. The library supports a wide range of cryptographic protocols, such as AES, ECSDA, Hash DRBG, HMAC-SHA-2, RSA, and more. NCL 2.0 offers various security capabilities, such as key verification, signature generation, and signature verification, with key lengths up to 512 bits. Nuvoton is the first vendor to achieve FIPS 140-3 certification on a hardware cryptographic module.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are committed to further enhancing the library by adding services responsive to industry trends and complying with the NIST roadmap and standards,\u201d said Erez Naory of Nuvoton. \u201cThe NCL will continue to be an integral part of our Embedded Controller (EC) and Super I\/O (SIO) products, and it is now also enhancing our Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) product line.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The NIST validation certificate awarded to Nuvoton,\u00a0Certificate 4603, confirms that NCL 2.0 meets the rigorous security requirements of the FIPS 140-3 standard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":60963,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[368,7544],"class_list":["post-60957","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-headlines","tag-award","tag-nuvoton"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60957","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=60957"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60957\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/60963"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=60957"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=60957"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=60957"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
