BRANCHBURG, N.J., July 30, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Zetetic, LLC, developer of SQLCipher™, a leading full database encryption library, is pleased to announce the latest release of SQLCipher™ Enterprise FIPS, now featuring a new FIPS 140-2 validated encryption module.
Zetetic, LLC, developer of SQLCipher™, a leading full database encryption library, is pleased to announce the latest release of SQLCipher™ Enterprise FIPS, now featuring a new FIPS 140-2 validated encryption module on iOS, Android, Windows, Linux, and macOS.
FIPS 140-2 is the U.S. government standard ensuring cryptographic modules meet stringent security levels for data encryption. This validation was granted by the Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP), operated jointly by the United States National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security (CCCS). Certificates #4707 and #4708 confirm compliance for iOS, Android, Windows, Linux, and macOS.
Innovative Security
SQLCipher™ Enterprise FIPS is the first widely adopted database encryption tool to offer a SQLite-compatible API with a FIPS validated cryptographic module. “SQLCipher™ has a decade-long history of supporting FIPS 141-2 validation and FedRAMP requirements for numerous U.S. federal and state agencies, the Department of Defense, and customers in regulated utilities, finance, and healthcare industries,” said Stephen Lombardo at Zetetic. “These new certificates and the corresponding cryptographic module in SQLCipher™ Enterprise FIPS underscore our commitment to meeting the highest security standards for our customers.”
Partnership with SafeLogic
To achieve FIPS compliance across diverse operating environments, Zetetic partnered with SafeLogic to integrate their FIPS compliant cryptographic libraries into SQLCipher™ Enterprise FIPS packages. “We are delighted to help Zetetic achieve this milestone by accelerating their FIPS 140-2 validation,” said Evgeny Gervis, SafeLogic CEO.
Enhanced Features
Beyond FIPS 140-2 compliance and full-database AES-256 encryption, SQLCipher™ Enterprise FIPS offers value-level encryption, encrypted virtual tables, performance counters, and optimization statistics. This ensures unparalleled security and performance, keeping application data secure and accessible only to authorized users.
