Malvern, PA – [December 23, 2025] – [Business Wire] – Rajant Corporation, the pioneer of Kinetic Mesh® wireless networking and distributed edge computing, today announced that the Rajant In-Line Security Module (RiSM) has officially achieved Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-3 Level 2 certification through the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP).
FIPS 140-3 is the U.S. government’s benchmark for validating cryptographic modules used to protect sensitive information. While Level 1 certification focuses on validating cryptographic algorithms, Level 2 certification requires additional safeguards, including physical security protections, tamper-evident mechanisms, role-based authentication, and secure key management. RiSM’s certification confirms compliance with these heightened requirements, which are commonly mandated for use in regulated and mission-critical environments.
“Achieving FIPS 140-3 Level 2 certification for our In-Line Security Module is a critical validation of Rajant’s commitment to delivering trusted, standards-based security for the most demanding operational environments,” said Ed Preston, President of Military and Government Markets at Rajant Corporation. “This certification confirms that Rajant security products are ready for mission-critical use by U.S. defense, government, and regulated-industry customers who require both uncompromising security and operational agility at the tactical edge.”
RiSM is a high-performance, in-line network encryption appliance designed to integrate seamlessly into existing Rajant Kinetic Mesh® networks. Its low-power, ruggedized design with Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) pass-through allows encryption to be added at the network edge without introducing additional devices or operational complexity. RiSM delivers high-throughput, low-latency Layer 2 traffic encryption with strict red/black data path separation and tamper-evident protections. Centralized configuration, monitoring, and secure key management are supported through Rajant’s BC Commander® platform, enabling scalable and compliant deployments across distributed and regulated networks.
With RiSM achieving FIPS 140-3 Level 2 certification, Rajant strengthens its portfolio of trusted networking technologies purpose-built for defense, government, and other high-security operational environments.
