McAfee Firewall Enterprise 1100E, 2150E and 4150E

FIPS 140-2 certificate #2154 · McAfee, Inc. · data as of 2026-09-15

McAfee Firewall Enterprise 1100E, 2150E and 4150E, from McAfee, Inc., holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #2154 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 and when installed, initialized and configured as specified in the Security Policy Section 3.1. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy.
