The operating system must implement cryptographic modules that adhere to the higher standards that have been tested, validated, and approved by the federal government. - macOS Catalina is in process of receiving FIPS validation from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). + macOS Big Sur has been submitted to an accredited laboratory for testing of the cryptographic module for FIPS 140-3 validation. Once complete the test will be submitted to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for validation. - link:https://csrc.nist.gov/Projects/Cryptographic-Module-Validation-Program/Modules-In-Process/Modules-In-Process-List[] + link:https://csrc.nist.gov/Projects/cryptographic-module-validation-program/modules-in-process/IUT-List[] link:https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201159[] check: |
