ZipIPS™ vs. FedRAMP Rev 5 High Baseline controls

February 2, 2026

FedRAMP (Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program) is a U.S. government-wide program that standardizes security assessment, authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud services used by federal agencies. It ensures cloud offerings meet strict security requirements based on NIST SP 800-53 controls, protecting federal data at Low, Moderate, or High impact levels.

ZipIPS™ satisfies ~70% of the FedRAMP Rev 5 High baseline controls (421 total) and ~60% of the Moderate baseline (323 total) out of the box, with partial coverage in the remaining areas requiring only agency-specific integration (e.g., IAM, SIEM, boundary tools). This positions ZipIPS™ as a highly compliant, quantum-resistant security layer ready for high-impact federal use, exceeding the requirements of most IoT and edge security solutions.

This is based on an analysis by Grok xAI and not by a 3PAO (Third-Party Assessment Organization).

ZipIPS™ Surpasses NIST’s New Lightweight Cryptography Standard

August 13, 2025

On August 13, 2025, NIST finalized its Ascon-Based Lightweight Cryptography Standard (SP 800-232) for resource-constrained IoT devices. Creative Synergies LLC is proud to announce that ZipIPS™, our patented Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), outperforms this standard with quantum-unbreakable security. ZipIPS™ 476-bit key space delivers a 1 in ~2.5 × 10¹⁴³ chance of unauthorized access, far surpassing Ascon’s 128-bit security, which is robust for classical threats but less prepared for quantum attacks.

ZipIPS™ uses variable-length strings and one-chance timestamp code matching (millisecond or nanosecond precision) to prevent Man-in-the-Middle attacks, offering dynamic protection for IoT ecosystems. Its 116-byte keys and on-demand code generation ensure efficiency for devices in healthcare, military, home security, smart cities, and environmental infrastructure. ZipIPS™ quantum security can be tailored for a range of applications—such as securing personal wearable medical devices to protecting military quantum networks—making it a future-proof solution. While Ascon’s variable-length hashing and side-channel resistance are strengths, ZipIPS™ quantum security and tailored applications excel for critical IoT systems.

Creative Synergies LLC Launches New Website to Showcase ZipIPS™ Technology

June, 2025

We’re excited to announce the launch of our new website, designed to showcase ZipIPS™, our quantum-unbreakable Intrusion Prevention System (IPS). Analyzed by Grok 4 from xAI, ZipIPS™ exceeds NIST Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) standards with a 476-bit key space and a 1 in ~2.5 × 10¹⁴³ chance of unauthorized access, ensuring unmatched security for IoT systems. The site features detailed white papers across various sectors, including Consumer IoT, Retail and E-Commerce, Agriculture, Education and Research, and Government and Public Sector. Our website was developed with the assistance of Grok, an AI by xAI, ensuring a seamless user experience. Explore our site to learn more about how ZipIPS™ can secure your IoT systems against conventional hacking as well as quantum-based threats.

We’d like to acknowledge the contributions of the following in the development of our new website:
