A World First in LiFi Security
Last month, in June 2025, Signify announced that its Trulifi 6004 system has become the world's first Light Fidelity (LiFi) technology to receive FIPS 140-3 validation. This advanced cryptographic security standard, issued by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), represents the gold standard for securing sensitive and business-critical data in both public and private sectors.
The security requirements cover areas related to the secure design and implementation of a cryptographic module. These areas include cryptographic module specification; cryptographic module interfaces; roles, services, and authentication; software/firmware security; operating environment; physical security; non-invasive security; sensitive security parameter management; self-tests; life-cycle assurance; and mitigation of other attacks.
Meeting The Demands of High-Security Sectors
The Trulifi 6004 system is specifically designed for organisations where security, privacy, and digital resilience are paramount. Key features include:
Scalable connectivity: Each access point can connect up to 16 users simultaneously
Invisible infrared light: Creates secure point-to-multipoint wireless links without visible disruption
Rapid deployment: Designed for quick installation with minimal infrastructure disruption
Standards-based approach: Ensures compatibility and future-proofing for enterprise environments
These capabilities make the system particularly attractive for:
Healthcare facilities where patient data security is critical
Financial institutions handling sensitive transaction data
Government offices requiring maximum security protocols
High-tech manufacturing floors where RF interference could impact operations
Any secure office environment where data protection is essential
The Significance of FIPS 140-3 Validation
FIPS 140-3 validation is more than just a technical achievement—it's a signal to the market that LiFi technology has matured from a futuristic concept to a viable enterprise solution. This validation provides organisations with:
Regulatory compliance: Meeting government and industry standards for cryptographic security
Risk mitigation: Proven protection against evolving cyber threats
Investment confidence: Assurance that the technology meets rigorous security benchmarks
Competitive advantage: Enhanced security posture compared to traditional wireless networks
As digital transformation accelerates across all industries, the need for secure, reliable wireless infrastructure becomes increasingly critical. Signify's achievement with Trulifi 6004 demonstrates that alternatives to traditional wireless technologies are not only possible but can exceed current security standards.
For IT leaders and security professionals, this development opens new possibilities for addressing long-standing challenges in wireless security. Whether it's protecting patient records in hospitals, securing financial transactions, or maintaining confidentiality in government facilities, LiFi technology now offers a validated, enterprise-ready solution.
By leveraging the inherent security advantages of light-based communication and backing them with industry-leading encryption standards, LiFi companies are helping organisations to build more resilient and secure digital infrastructure for the future.
As cyber threats continue to evolve and data breaches become more costly, LiFi technologies like Oledcomm’s LIFIMAX and Trulifi that offer fundamentally different approaches to security will become increasingly valuable. For organisations operating in high-security environments or those simply looking to enhance their wireless security posture, the arrival of FIPS 140-3 validated LiFi technology marks an important new option in their security toolkit.
