Issue/Introduction

Does PRESSPACK meet the FIPS 140-2 STANDARD of security?

Environment

Release:

Resolution

Presspack provides data compression, not data encryption and in fact not all data may be compressed within a record occurrence depending upon its use within the database structure. With that noted, as far as FIPS 140-2 STANDARD requirements we have to say that it is not compliant as an encryption method
