NCoded Cryptographic Server Module

FIPS 140-2 certificate #2939 · NCoded Communications LLC · data as of 2026-10-21

NCoded Cryptographic Server Module, from NCoded Communications LLC, holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #2939 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. 186-2 transition. Federal agencies may reference historical validations for existing systems only, not for new procurement.
Caveat: When operated in FIPS mode. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy. This validation entry is a non-security relevant modification to Cert. #2038.
