Cohesity FIPS Object Module for OpenSSL
Cohesity FIPS Object Module for OpenSSL, from Cohesity, Inc., holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #2676 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.
Caveat: When installed, protected and initialized as assumed by the Crypto Officer role and as specified in the provided Security Policy. Installation and protection shall be completed as specified in Appendix A of the provided Security Policy. Initialization shall be invoked as per Section 4 of the provided Security Policy. Any deviation from specified protection, installation and initialization procedures will result in a non FIPS 140-2 compliant module. This validation entry is a non-security relevant modification to Cert. #2398
