Federal Information Processing Standard

Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) är en offentlig kungjord standardisering utvecklad av USA:s federala statsmakt för användning i datorsystem^[1] av alla icke-militära myndigheter och innehavare av statliga kontraktsuppdrag, när det används och anpassas för ett kontrakt. Många FIPS tillkännagivanden är modifierade versioner av standarder som används i tekniska samfund, såsom American National Standards Institute (ANSI), Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), och International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

NIST develops FIPS when there are compelling Federal government requirements such as for security and interoperability and there are no acceptable industry standards or solutions.”
