FortiGate-3950B/3951B

FIPS 140-2 certificate #2144 · Fortinet, Inc. · data as of 2026-10-21

FortiGate-3950B/3951B, from Fortinet, Inc., holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #2144 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 with the tamper evident seals installed as indicated in the Security Policy. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy
