Fasoo AI said on Nov. 10 it will apply a cryptographic module certified under the U.S. Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP) to its supply chain data security collaboration platform, Wrapsody eCo, as part of efforts to support South Korean defence companies pursuing overseas markets.
The company said CMVP is a cryptographic module validation programme run by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Canada’s Communications Security Establishment (CSE) and is required to take part in procurement by the U.S. and Canadian federal governments and public institutions.
Fasoo AI said North American government agencies and industries with strict security requirements, including defence, require partner companies to apply CMVP-validated cryptographic modules in procurement processes. It added that CMVP is recognised as a security standard not only in North America but also in other major countries.
Kang Bong-ho (강봉호), head of the service business division at Fasoo AI, said, "Data protection capabilities are now an essential requirement for entering the global supply chain." He said, "Fasoo AI will support defence companies' global collaboration with Wrapsody eCo."
