Inside Secure, which supplies embedded security products for mobile and connected devices, Monday announced the availability of the SafeZone FIPS cryptographic module version 1.1, which the company claims is the industry's first FIPS certified cryptographic module validated on a tusted execution environment.

Inside said the joint product with Trustonic can provide payment, IoT, enterprise and other mobile product providers to meet market demands for government grade security without sacrificing performance in mobile applications, devices and network communications, according to a press release. 

The FIPS 140-2 standard dictates security requirements for U.S. federal agencies that use cryptography to protect sensitive information, according to the announcement. These requirements often apply to identification, access control and bring your own device, but also extend to services for mobile devices, such as premium content delivery and mobile payments. Both U.S. and Canadian government agencies accept FIPS 140-2 validation performed by the cryptographic module validation program, according to Inside.
