Samsung NVMe TCG Opal SSC SEDs PM1723b Series

FIPS 140-2 certificate #3525 · Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. · data as of 2026-10-21

Samsung NVMe TCG Opal SSC SEDs PM1723b Series, from Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #3525 at overall level 2. 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 sunsetting. Federal agencies may reference historical validations for existing systems only, not for new procurement.
Caveat: When installed, initialized and configured as specified in the Security Rules Section of the Security Policy. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy
