FIPS Comes to Node.js - Michael Dawson, IBM FIPS 140-2 is a cryptographic functionality standard that is often required when handling sensitive information, particularly in government and regulated industries. Support for FIPS was a community request that has been addressed thanks to numerous contributors. Come hear about the journey taken by the Node.js community to allow building and testing a FIPS capable runtime. The talk will cover FIPS requirements, and the specific enablement, test updates, and changes to dependencies that were required. We’ll include code samples and walkthroughs, and end with an overview of how to use FIPS capable Node.js through sample deployments in the cloud.
