SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MeshDynamics has completed rigorous third-party testing certifying its industry-leading MD4000 third generation WiFi wireless mesh nodes as compliant with Level 1 and Level 2 of FIPS 140-2, the Federal Information Processing Standards publication for security requirements for cryptographic modules. This makes MeshDynamics the first vendor to combine the high performance of third-generation mesh for video, voice, and data with the Federal government's high standards for encryption and security.

The FIPS 140-2 publication describes multiple levels of security. Level 1 defines cryptographic support. MeshDynamics has incorporated a number of FIPS 140-2 compliant algorithms, including 128-bit AES-based encryption schemes for securing the management of the module, securing packets transported between nodes, and for securing pair-wise and group keys. Also supported are additional FIPS 140-2 specified algorithms for key generation, authentication, and hashing. These are in addition to the already-extensive list of secure protocols deployed in MeshDynamics' standard product line. MeshDynamics is also making available FIPS 140-2 Level 2 security, which entails securing the physical integrity of wireless mesh node enclosure with tamper-evident seals, protecting the plain text cryptographic keys and critical security parameters within the wireless mesh node from intrusion or tampering.

Francis daCosta, Founder and CTO of MeshDynamics, noted that the new security features are a natural outgrowth of the company's history of supplying critical military and government applications. "Our military customers have always valued our proven highest performance, especially over multiple hops. But now they can combine this performance with FIPS 140-2 Level 1 and Level 2 security in a single device."

FIPS 140-2 compliant MD4000 wireless mesh nodes are available now. Qualifying customers may contact the company for pricing and delivery information.
