USA v mnohých IT oblastiach vydávajú vlastné štandardy, ktoré sú často aj v rámci sveta de-facto štandardmi.
Ako príklad môžeme uviesť FIPS 140-2:
"The
Federal Information Processing Standard (
FIPS) Publication 140-2, (FIPS PUB 140-2),
[1][2] is a
U.S. government computer security standard used to approve
cryptographic modules. The title is
Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules. Initial publication was on May 25, 2001 and was last updated December 3, 2002."
