Security Builder® Crypto™-C can be licensed separately to provide additional software cryptographic functionality.

FIPS 140-2 is required for sale of products implementing cryptography to the Federal Government. Because of the high level of security ensured by FIPS, the financial and healthcare industries are also starting to mandate FIPS 140-2 to secure their transactions.

Other libraries can and will be developed for additional market leading mobile processors that have onboard hardware cryptographic providers. Please check with Certicom for availability.
