Information security, cybersecurity and privacy protection — Security requirements for cryptographic modules

Sécurité de l’information, cybersécurité et protection de la vie privée — Exigences de sécurité pour les modules cryptographiques

Abstract / scope

This document specifies the security requirements for a cryptographic module utilized within a security system protecting sensitive information in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). It defines four security levels for cryptographic modules to provide for a wide spectrum of data sensitivity and a diversity of application environments. This document specifies up to four security levels for each of the 11 requirement areas with each security level increasing security over the preceding level.
