Encryptics® Cryptographic Library

FIPS 140-2 certificate #2162 · Encryptics · data as of 2026-10-09

Encryptics® Cryptographic Library, from Encryptics, holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #2162 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. 186-2 transition. Federal agencies may reference historical validations for existing systems only, not for new procurement.
Caveat: When operated with module Windows Enhanced Cryptographic Provider (RSAENH) validated to FIPS 140-2 under Certs. #1002, #1330, and #1337 operating 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 Encryptics Cryptographic Library underpins Encryptics technology and offers protection by industry-standard, government approved algorithms to ensure that only authorized users and authorized devices are allowed to access private information stored within the .SAFE package. Encryptics for Email and Encryptics Data Protection API both leverage the Encryptics .SAFE Library to ensure use of FIPS 140-2 validated cryptography.
