FIPS 140-2 certificate #3221 · HYCU, Inc. · data as of 2026-08-28
Historical. Moved to historical list due to sunsetting. 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. No assurance of the minimum strength of generated keys. This validation entry is a non-security relevant modification to Cert. #2768
