Advantech B+B SmartWorx Cryptographic Module

FIPS 140-2 certificate #2584 · Advantech B+B Smartworx · data as of 2026-10-09

Advantech B+B SmartWorx Cryptographic Module, from Advantech B+B Smartworx, holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #2584 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. SP 800-131A transition which disallows key wrapping not compliant to SP 800-38F.. Federal agencies may reference historical validations for existing systems only, not for new procurement.
Caveat: None
