FortiOS™ 5.0

FIPS 140-2 certificate #2370 · Fortinet, Inc. · data as of 2026-08-28
Historical. Moved to historical list due to sunsetting. 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. There is no assurance of the minimum strength of generated keys
