FIPS 140-2 certificate #3421 · Oracle Corporation · data as of 2026-08-28
Historical. Moved to historical list due to dependency on certificate #3111. Federal agencies may reference historical validations for existing systems only, not for new procurement.
Caveat: When operated in FIPS mode with module Oracle Linux NSS Cryptographic Module validated to FIPS 140-2 under Cert. #3111 operating in FIPS mode. The module generates random strings whose strengths are modified by available entropy
