Samsung FIPS BC for Mobile Phone and Tablet

FIPS 140-2 certificate #2092 · Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. · data as of 2026-10-21

Samsung FIPS BC for Mobile Phone and Tablet, from Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #2092 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 operated in FIPS mode. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy.
