FIPS 140-3 supersedes FIPS140-2. FIPS 140-3 aligns with ISO/IEC 19790:2012(E) and includes modifications of the Annexes that are allowed to CMVP (as a validation authority). The testing for these requirements will be in accordance with ISO/IEC 24759:2017(E), with the modifications, additions or deletions of vendor evidence and testing allowed as a validation authority under paragraph 5.2. Major changes in FIPS 140-3 are limited to the introduction of non-invasive physical requirements.
ISO/IEC 19790:2012(E), Information technology — Security techniques — Security requirements for cryptographic modules, is an international standard based on updates of the earlier versions of FIPS 140, Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules. ISO/IEC 24759:2017(E), Information technology — Security techniques — Test requirements for cryptographic modules is an international standard based on the Derived Test Requirements for FIPS 140-2, Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules. It is currently in the best interest to use these standards, superseding those sections where national standards are permitted. Therefore, FIPS 140-3 is based on ISO/IEC 19790:2012/Cor.1:2015(E) and ISO/IEC 24759:2017(E). The following documents identify those elements that are superseded or modified.
