Symantec SymSSLf Cryptographic Module

FIPS 140-2 certificate #3076 · Symantec Corporation · data as of 2026-09-03

Symantec SymSSLf Cryptographic Module, from Symantec Corporation, holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #3076 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. SP 800-56Arev3 transition. 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
