The CipherCloud Cloud Data Protection Solution Is the Industry-s First and Only Solution Certified as Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 197 Compliant by NIST
SAN JOSE, CA — April 9, 2012 — CipherCloud, a leading provider of encryption gateways for cloud data protection, today announced that its implementation of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption algorithm has been certified as U.S. FIPS PUB 197 (FIPS 197), validation number 1976. CipherCloud-s AES encryption algorithm implementation is now officially recognized by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for meeting its highest standards for encryption.

AES is the first publicly accessible and open cipher approved by the National Security Agency (NSA) for top secret information.
