AX Series Advanced Traffic Manager AX2500, AX2600-GCF, AX3000-11-GCF, AX5100, AX5200-11, AX1030, AX3030, AX3400, AX3200-12, AX3530 and AX5630, and Thunder Series Application Delivery Controller TH1030S, TH3030S, TH5430S, and TH6430S, from A10 Networks, Inc., holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #1983 at overall level 2. 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.

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. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy
