FIPS 140-2 certificate #2698 · Oracle Corporation · data as of 2026-10-21

Oracle Solaris Kernel Cryptographic Framework, from Oracle Corporation, holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #2698 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. Moved to historical list due to sunsetting. Federal agencies may reference historical validations for existing systems only, not for new procurement.
Caveat: When installed, initialized and configured as specified in the Security Policy and operated in FIPS mode

Module description

Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.

The Oracle Solaris Kernel Cryptographic Framework module provides cryptographic functionality for the kernel module. The module provides encryption, decryption, hashing, signature generation and verification, secure random number generation, and message authentication functions. The module can leverage the algorithm acceleration from SPARC and x86 processors when available.
