Winbond Electronics Corporation announced that TrustME W77Q Secure Flash has received the FIPS 140-3 Automated Cryptographic Validation Test System (ACVTS) certification.
FIPS 140-3 ACVTS is the NIST Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program which provides validation testing of approved cryptographic algorithms and their individual components. This means that the W77Q’s security can be used for the cryptographic encryption of several functions including root of trust functions, protection of data integrity and OTA firmware updates.
W77Q’s security offers an internal hardware HASH function (SHA-256) that is used for the cryptographic encryption of several functions, including:
-Communication channels
-Cryptographic read and write locks
-Cryptographic protection of data integrity,
-Cryptographic over-the-air (OTA) firmware updates
-Root of Trust functions.
“Acumen Security congratulates Winbond Electronics Corporation on receiving their Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program (CAVP) certificates for the W77Q TrustME Secure Flash memory. This certification ensures the cryptographic algorithms being used have been implemented as per their respective standards. We are honored that Winbond has selected Acumen Security as their security certification partner and we look forward to working together on future certification efforts,” said Ashit Vora, co-founder and Vice President of Acumen Security.
“By passing FIPS 140-3 ACVTS and being listed on CAVP list, W77Q is proven to be NIST-recommended cryptographic algorithms and their individual components.” Winbond added.
