Yubico Achieves FIPS 140-3 Validation for YubiHSM 2 FIPS, Strengthening Hardware Root of Trust for Critical Infrastructure

YubiHSM 2 FIPS delivers high-assurance cryptographic protection for keys, secrets and non-human identities in modern enterprise and operational technology environments

Yubico (Nasdaq Stockholm: YUBICO), the pioneer of phishing-resistant authentication and creator of the YubiKey, today announced that YubiHSM 2 FIPS has achieved FIPS 140-3 validation with Certificate #5302, published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP). Following the YubiKey 5 FIPS Series also becoming FIPS 140-3 validated, this milestone reinforces Yubico’s commitment to delivering modern hardware-backed security for organizations protecting critical infrastructure, manufacturing systems, government environments and high-assurance enterprise workloads.

Cyberattacks increasingly target cryptographic keys, machine identities and software supply chains, organizations require stronger hardware roots of trust to secure sensitive systems and operations. YubiHSM 2 FIPS is purpose-built to protect cryptographic keys and perform secure cryptographic operations inside a tamper-resistant hardware security module (HSM), helping organizations reduce exposure to key theft, credential compromise and unauthorized access.
