SUSE Linux Enterprise Server - Kernel Crypto API Cryptographic Module

FIPS 140-2 certificate #3099 · SUSE, LLC · data as of 2026-10-21

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server - Kernel Crypto API Cryptographic Module, from SUSE, LLC, holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #3099 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 dependency on certificate #3038. Federal agencies may reference historical validations for existing systems only, not for new procurement.
Caveat: When operated in FIPS mode with module SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 - OpenSSL Module v2.0 validated to FIPS 140-2 under Cert. #3038 operating in FIPS mode. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy
