Oracle Linux 7 libgcrypt Cryptographic Module
Oracle Linux 7 libgcrypt Cryptographic Module, from Oracle Corporation, holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #3215 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 installed and configured per security policy section 10 and operated in FIPS mode. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy
