// FIPS 140 [1] is a US standard for data processing that specifies
// requirements for cryptographic modules. Software that is "FIPS 140
// compliant" must use approved cryptographic primitives only and that
// are implemented by a FIPS 140 certified cryptographic module.
//
// So, FIPS 140 requires that a certified implementation of e.g. AES
// is used to implement more high-level cryptographic protocols.
