Samsung OpenSSL Cryptographic Module
Samsung OpenSSL Cryptographic Module, from Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #1948 at overall level 1. The validation is historical: agencies may keep the module in existing systems but not buy it new. Below are its validation history, algorithm certificates and security policy, drawn from the NIST CMVP entry.
Caveat: When operated in FIPS mode. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy
