Untitled[edit]

The entry does not discuss the relvance of this standard, what its adopted for etc. Does anyone know these details? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.107.0.73 (talk) 00:30, September 5, 2007

According to the CMVP director FIPS 140 is not a generic term for the family. FIPS 140 was an actual version of the standard and the terms should not be used in this way. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.112.235.30 (talk) 13:42, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That seems to make no sense since the two versions of the standard are FIPS 140-1 and 140-2, so is it not accurate to refer to it as a family? Jools (talk) 04:51, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

FIPS 140-3 is now published, and is effective as of September 22, 2019: https://csrc.nist.gov/projects/fips-140-3-development#schedule. The page should be updated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dashunderscore (talk • contribs) 15:45, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
