Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS)
The Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) define U.S. and Canadian Government security and interoperability requirements for computer systems. The FIPS 140-2 standard specifies the security requirements for cryptographic modules. It describes the approved security functions for symmetric and asymmetric key encryption, message authentication, and hashing. For more information on the FIPS 140-2 standard and its validation program, see the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Communications Security Establishment Canada (CSEC) Cryptographic Module Validation Program website at: https://csrc.nist.gov/projects/cryptographic-module-validation-program
Where the Data Insight documentation states that a version of Data Insight is "FIPS 140-2-compliant", it means the following:
Data Insight uses FIPS 140-2-validated instances of algorithms and hashing functions in all instances where data is encrypted or hashed.
Data Insight manages cryptographic keys and message authentication in a secure manner, as required of FIPS 140-2-validated cryptographic modules.
To achieve FIPS 140-2 compliance, Data Insight uses a FIPS 140-2-validated cryptographic module to provide the required cryptographic functionality. The Veritas Data Insight Cryptographic Module handles the encryption and decryption of passwords, the hashing of data, and random number generation.
The certificate numbers for the cryptographic modules that are used within the Veritas Data Insight Cryptographic Module are 1012, 1337, and 1894 on the list of validated FIPS 140-2 modules that the NIST publishes. See the following:

Note the following points if you want to use Data Insight in a FIPS 140-2-compliant environment:
FIPS 140-2-compliant versions of Data Insight store data on your storage devices using FIPS-compliant algorithms. However, you may want to check with the storage provider whether your storage devices are FIPS-compliant.
If you want to run Windows in FIPS 140 compliance mode, you must enable the Windows group policy setting or local policy setting for FIPS-compliant algorithms. This setting restricts the use of non-compliant algorithms in the Microsoft .NET Framework.

To use File System Archiving with placeholder shortcuts on an EMC Celerra device, you must configure the Celerra DataMover to use the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol. Check your Celerra documentation for details of FIPS compliance, if required.
Following modules are not FIPS compliant:
NetApp Manageability SDK used for supporting NetApp devices
Box SDK used for supporting Box cloud sources
Amazon S3 SDK used supported Amazon S3 sources
