EMC Data Domain Crypto-C Micro Edition

FIPS 140-2 certificate #2757 · Dell EMC · data as of 2026-10-21

EMC Data Domain Crypto-C Micro Edition, from Dell EMC, holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #2757 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.
