FIPS compliance¶
FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standard) is the US government computer security standard for cryptography modules that include both hardware and software components. Percona Server for MongoDB supports FIPS certified module for OpenSSL, enabling US organizations to introduce FIPS-compliant encryption and thus meet the requirements towards data security.
The FIPS compliance in Percona Server for MongoDB is implemented in the same way, as in MongoDB Enterprise. It is available Percona Server for MongoDB Pro out of the box starting with version 6.0.9-7. You can also receive this functionality by building Percona Server for MongoDB from source code.
Platform support¶
Starting with Percona Server for MongoDB 6.0.9-7, you can run Percona Server for MongoDB in FIPS mode on all supported operating systems. To use FIPS mode for Percona Server for MongoDB, your Linux system must be configured with the OpenSSL FIPS certified module.
Note, that FIPS modules on Ubuntu 24.04 are not available yet as they are awaiting final certification by CMVP.
See Configure MongoDB for FIPS in MongoDB documentation for configuration guidelines.
