IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundation FIPS Plug-in
This plug-in provides the IBM MobileFirst™ Platform Foundation FIPS feature for Cordova applications for the Android platform. It also adds encryption support for JSONStore.
Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) are standards and guidelines that are issued by the United States National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for federal government computer systems. FIPS Publication 140-2 is a security standard that is used to accredit cryptographic modules. The WebSphere Application Server can be configured to enforce the use of FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic modules for inbound and outbound Secure Socket Layer (SSL) connections.
After the FIPS plug-in is installed, you must set the enableFIPS property in the wlInitOptions variable to true. Refer to the documentation below for more information.
