Pulse Secure Cryptographic Module

FIPS 140-2 certificate #2896 · Pulse Secure, LLC · data as of 2026-08-28
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. No assurance of the minimum strength of generated keys. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy.
