Hewlett Packard Enterprise libgcrypt Crypto Module

FIPS 140-2 certificate #2915 · Hewlett Packard Enterprise · data as of 2026-09-08

Hewlett Packard Enterprise libgcrypt Crypto Module, from Hewlett Packard Enterprise, holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #2915 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. This validation entry is a non-security relevant modification to Cert. #2657.
