Becrypt Cryptographic Library

FIPS 140-2 certificate #2905 · Becrypt Limited · data as of 2026-09-03

Becrypt Cryptographic Library, from Becrypt Limited, holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #2905 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 operated in FIPS mode. No assurance of the minimum strength of generated keys
