Hi:

I just wanted to know if  ARM Cryptocell-310 in nrf52840 FIPS 140-2 compatible.

Thanks,

The reference to FIPS 140-2 (should) refer to the true random number generator in the nRF-series:

This is a requirement in the BT spec:

Hi Kenneth,

I realize this thread is two years old - I have same/ similar question with regards to nRF52833's AES capabilities in general, and in particular "128-bit AES/ECB/CCM/AAR co-processor (on-the-fly packet encryption)" as mentioned in 833 product spec v1.3. Do you know or has any way to check into if this encryption engine is capable of complying with FIPS 140-2?

Hi,

AES is a FIPS-140-2 approved algorithm.
