Security Builder® FIPS Module

Certificate

Module description

The Security Builder® FIPS Module is a standards-based cryptographic toolkit that supports optimized Elliptic Curve Cryptography and provides application developers with sophisticated tools to flexibly integrate encryption, digital signatures and other security mechanisms into both mobile and server-based applications. The Security Builder FIPS Module is part of the Certicom Security Architecture, a comprehensive cross-platform security solution which supports multiple cryptographic software and hardware providers with a single common API.
