Historical. RNG SP800-131A Revision 1 Transition. Federal agencies may reference historical validations for existing systems only, not for new procurement.
Caveat: When operated in FIPS mode. When obtained, installed, and initialized as assumed by the Crypto Officer role and specified in Section 9 of the provided Security Policy. This module contains the embedded modules Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 OpenSSL Cryptographic Module validated to FIPS 140-2 under Cert. #1320 operating in FIPS mode and the Network Security Services (NSS) Cryptographic Module validated to FIPS 140-2 under Cert. #815 (Approved algorithms retested on listed operating environment) operating in FIPS mode. Section 1 of the provided Security Policy specifies the precise RPM files containing this module. The integrity of the RPMs is automatically verified during the installation and the Crypto officer shall not install the RPM files if the RPM tool indicates an integrity error. Any deviation from the specified verification, installation and initialization procedures will result in a non FIPS 140-2 compliant module.
