Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) are standards made by the Federal government of the United States for non-military government agencies and by government contractors to use, and they are announced to the public.
Many FIPS standards are modified versions of standards used in the wider community (ANSI, IEEE, ISO, etc.)

Some FIPS standards were originally developed by the U.S. government. For instance, standards for encoding data (e.g. country codes), but more significantly some encryption standards, such as the Data Encryption Standard (FIPS 46 Archived 2017-11-18 at the Wayback Machine) and the Advanced Encryption Standard (FIPS 197 Archived 2015-04-07 at the Wayback Machine).
