SafeLogic has two key advantages over the native OS-supplied crypto libraries. First, from a security perspective, integrating CryptoComply into your application isolates all crypto API calls within your control and eliminates any potential vulnerabilities created by making calls out to the OS level. It reduces your attack surface significantly, provides peace of mind that you have configured it as you see fit, minimizes your engineering effort to provide crypto API compatibility to various operating environments that your customers request, and streamlines your efforts to deploy a single crypto library across all scenarios. Second, from a compliance perspective, leveraging CryptoComply allows you to also use the RapidCert service. This delivers a FIPS 140 validation, in your name, in less than 8 weeks. This unique certificate number is posted on the NIST public website and available to be cross-checked and confirmed to belong to your company. It also displays the operating environments and some of the specifics of deployment. This creates a concrete certification story for procurement officers in the Public Sector, specifically the U.S. Federal market and the DoD and Intelligence Communities. Other regulated industries, such as healthcare and finance also look for the validation in your name, which proves that your deployment has met the strict benchmark requirements for cryptography. If you rely on the OS-level libraries, there is no easy way for your customers or an independent third party to confirm that your application has incorporated FIPS 140 validated encryption.
