The Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) Publication 140-2 is a U.S. government computer security standard. It is commonly referred to as FIPS 140-2, and is used to accredit the design and implementation of cryptographic functions, for example within a chip. A cryptographic function within a chip security system is necessary to maintain the confidentiality and integrity of the information that is being processed.

The security functions of the CC3135 chip which is inside the CC3135MOD module, are FIPS certified to FIPS 140-2 level 1. This certification covers topics such as: cryptographic specifications, ports and interfaces, a finite state model for the cryptographic functions, the operational environment of the function, and how cryptographic keys are managed. The certification provides the assurance that the implementation meets FIPS 140-2 level 1 standards.
