The iShield Key 2 Pro FIPS is, per Swissbit, the first FIDO security key validated to FIPS 140-3 Level 3. The protocol stack matches the regular iShield Key 2 Pro, but the validation makes this variant relevant to United States federal agencies, contractors, and other organisations under FIPS mandates.
The validation level is meaningful: 140-3 Level 3 requires identity based authentication and physical tamper response, which are stronger than the 140-2 Level 2 most FIPS validated FIDO keys have historically held.
