FIPS 140

FIPS 140 is like a test to make sure that special computer programs that use secret codes and encryption are very, very safe. It's like a safety check for these computer programs so that bad guys can't break in and see what the program is doing or steal secrets that are supposed to be kept secret. The test makes sure that the program follows all the safety rules and uses only the best and strongest safety tools. It's like the program gets a safety belt and a helmet, but instead of keeping you safe in a car or on a bike, it keeps secrets safe in the computer program.
