Novachips Scalar and Express SSD Awarded FIPS-140-2 Validation by NIST

SEOUL, South Korea, Jan. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Novachips Co., Ltd., an innovator in flash storage solution, today announced that its Scalar-Series and Express-Series Solid-State Drive (SSD) had been certified as a Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2 Level 2. (Cert# 3785).

FIPS 140-2 is one of the highest standards for security validation which consists of a series of requirements and standards to secure the integrity of the data by examining 11 areas related to the design and implementation of a cryptographic module. The U.S. federal government is required to restrict technology procurement to products that use FIPS 140-2 validated encryption.

Without adopting any 3^rd party security components, all required cryptographic algorithms and security functions are supported by a single in-house ASIC controller NVS3800 hardware and firmware. This design architecture allows achieving lower power consumption and immediate Zeroize service without any delay factor to destroy the key and key materials via specified host commands or GPIO signal input.

"We are proud to announce our FIPS 140-2 validation from NIST. These are key milestones for Novachips," said Daniel Kim Novachips CEO. "This validation demonstrates our commitment to offering best-in-class flash storage products not only from data capacity but also from the data security perspective."

By acquiring FIPS 140-2 certification on its super-density SSD products, Novachips is now perfectly positioned to provide the flash storage solution to enterprise, military, and other governmental projects where the customers want reliable flash storage solution needs to keep data secure.
