Network Security
Validación de módulo criptográfico
The formal process of testing and certifying that a cryptographic module meets defined security standards such as FIPS 140-3, NIST SP 800-140A, and ISO/IEC 19790, ensuring proper encryption, key management, and operational controls.

Definition
The formal process of testing and certifying that a cryptographic module meets defined security standards such as FIPS 140-3, NIST SP 800-140A, and ISO/IEC 19790, ensuring proper encryption, key management, and operational controls.
Operational example
All deployed encryption libraries must undergo cryptographic module validation to ensure compliance with FIPS 140-3 and prevent the use of unapproved algorithms.
