The validation confirms strong tamper resistance, identity-based authentication, and secure key management, giving organizations transitioning to post-quantum cryptography an independently verified infrastructure option. DigiCert's CEO praised the milestone as strengthening trust anchors for the quantum era. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.

Crypto4A's QASM cryptographic module is the first in the world to receive FIPS 140-3 Level 3 validation while supporting all NIST-approved post-quantum cryptography algorithms. FIPS 140-3 Level 3 requires strong protection against physical tampering, strict identity-based authentication, and secure cryptographic key management, giving organizations independent assurance as they transition to post-quantum standards. _Teams planning a post-quantum migration can track HSM certification news like this on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev -
