More modules have been certified by government and industry authorities using GORE® Tamper Respondent Technology than any other technology.
NIST Cryptographic Module Validation Program
- NIST is the author and certifying authority for the FIPS 140 Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules
- Four levels of security are currently defined in the standard with Level 4 designated as the most secure
- Most FIPS Level 4 certified products are protected with GORE™ Tamper Respondent Technology
ZKA - German Banking Standard
- Multiple validations of encryption modules for banking and ATM with Gore tamper respondent technology
CESG CAPS Program
- Under the authority of the U.K.’s Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ)
- CESG is the Information Assurance arm of GCHQ
- The CESG Assisted Products Scheme (CAPS) supports the development and certification of cryptographic products for the U.K. government
- Gore tamper respondent technology "has been evaluated under the Scheme and is approved to provide tamper resistance for CESG approved baseline and enhanced grade cryptographic products"
Payment Card Industry (PCI) / VISA PED
- To gain approval from VISA, vendors of Point of Sale PIN Entry Devices (POS PEDs) must demonstrate compliance to the PCI Encrypting PIN Pad Security Requirements
- Gore provides protection for a leading terminal vendor under the PCI PED 1.x standard
