FIPS 140-2 certificate #2855 · Automation Solutions, Inc (AUTOSOL) · data as of 2026-10-09

CryptoMod, from Automation Solutions, Inc (AUTOSOL), holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #2855 at overall level 2. 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 operated in FIPS mode. When installed, initialized and configured as specified in Section 3 of the Security Policy

Module description

Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.

AutoSol’s CryptoMod is an end-point security device that protects data exchanged between remote industrial field devices and a centralized SCADA host. Installed in front of equipment, the CryptoMod encrypts traffic for the entire length of an industrial network. It provides authentication for controlling network access, integrity when data is in motion, and confidentiality. It is a CSA Class 1 Div. 2 Gr. ABCD device and a terminal server, so it can fit any existing industrial network. It has a hardware watchdog timer and the capability for remote configuration, management, and updates.
