D2iQ BoringCrypto Cryptographic Security Module

FIPS 140-2 certificate #3702 · D2iQ Inc. · data as of 2026-09-12

D2iQ BoringCrypto Cryptographic Security Module, from D2iQ Inc., holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #3702 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.

Historical. SP 800-56Arev3 transition. Federal agencies may reference historical validations for existing systems only, not for new procurement.
Caveat: When installed, initialized and configured as specified in Section 12.1 of the Security Policy and operated in FIPS mode. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy.
