Blue Coat Systems, Software Cryptographic Module

FIPS 140-2 certificate #2025 · Blue Coat® Systems, Inc. · data as of 2026-09-12

Blue Coat Systems, Software Cryptographic Module, from Blue Coat® Systems, Inc., holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #2025 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.

Historical. RNG SP800-131A Revision 1 Transition. Federal agencies may reference historical validations for existing systems only, not for new procurement.
Caveat: When installed, initialized and configured as specified in the Security Policy Section 3 and operated in FIPS mode. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy
