Encryption algorithms are not the same. Some are better than others. FIPS 140-2 is a US government standard policy on the capabilities of a particular algorithm. It is a required certification for any vendor to sell their services to any US Government institution. The question is, if you’re a private institution, why would it matter to you? This article explains what FIPS 140-2 is and why is it important.
