In AX-3.8, a NiagaraAX host can be configured to run its station in “FIPS Mode”, using only cryptographic algorithms supplied by a FIPS 140-2 certified cryptographic module. This document explains how FIPS is used in NiagaraAX, how to get FIPS mode up and running, and some special considerations both when deploying FIPS, and when developing for NiagaraAX to be used in a FIPS environment.
