Carbon Black Cryptographic Module
Carbon Black Cryptographic Module, from Carbon Black, Inc., holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #3107 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.
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.
