Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) are publicly announced standards developed by the United States federal government for use in computer systems by non-military government agencies and government contractors.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 FIPS General Information )〕 FIPS standards are issued to establish requirements for various purposes such as ensuring computer security and interoperability, and are intended for cases in which suitable industry standards do not already exist.〔 Many FIPS specifications are modified versions of standards used in the technical communities, such as the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). ==Specific areas of FIPS standardization== The U.S. government has developed various FIPS specifications to standardize a number of topics including: * Codes: for instance, standards for encoding data (such as FIPS county codes or codes to indicate weather conditions or emergency indications). In 1994 NOAA began broadcasting coded signals called FIPS codes along with their standard weather broadcasts from local stations. These codes identify the type of emergency and the specific geographic area, such as a county, affected by the emergency. * Encryption standards, such as the Data Encryption Standard (FIPS 46-3〔(FIPS 46-3 )〕) and the Advanced Encryption Standard (FIPS 197〔(FIPS 197 )〕) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Federal Information Processing Standards」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
