Link & Platform Cryptography

MACsec at the link layer and FIPS 140-2 validated platforms, where the standard is a compliance obligation rather than a preference.

Also known as MACsec, FIPS 140-2

MACsec link-layer encryption and FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic platforms through the dispatch estate, and FIPS-compliant equipment integration in the Fort Stewart mobile disaster recovery vehicle kit for the U.S. Army.

In federal and criminal justice work the validated module is not an implementation detail. It is the requirement.
