Oracle Solaris Userland Cryptographic Framework with SPARC T4 and SPARC T5

FIPS 140-2 certificate #2076 · Oracle Corporation · data as of 2026-10-21

Oracle Solaris Userland Cryptographic Framework with SPARC T4 and SPARC T5, from Oracle Corporation, holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #2076 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 and operated in FIPS mode. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy

Module description

Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.

The Oracle Solaris OS utilizes two cryptographic modules; one in the Userland space and the second in the Kernel space. The OS uses the Oracle Solaris Userland Cryptographic Framework module for cryptographic functionality for any applications running in user space. It exposes PKCS#11 APIs, uCrypto APIs, and libmd public interfaces to provide cryptography to any application designed to utilize them. The module includes the SPARC T4 and SPARC T5 processor special instruction sets for hardware-accelerated cryptography.
