Oracle Linux 7 GnuTLS Cryptographic Module

FIPS 140-2 certificate #3757 · Oracle Corporation · data as of 2026-10-21

Oracle Linux 7 GnuTLS Cryptographic Module, from Oracle Corporation, holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #3757 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 operated in FIPS mode. When installed, initialized and configured as specified in Section 10 of the Security Policy. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy
