REDCOM OpenSSL Cryptographic Module

FIPS 140-2 certificate #3768 · REDCOM Laboratories, Inc. · data as of 2026-10-21

REDCOM OpenSSL Cryptographic Module, from REDCOM Laboratories, Inc., holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #3768 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. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy

Module description

Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.

REDCOM OpenSSL Cryptographic Module is used with various REDCOM products. The module offloads functions for key management, data integrity, data at rest encryption, and communications to a trusted implementation. The module is a multi-chip standalone embodiment installed on a General-Purpose Device and relies on physical characteristics of the host. The physical cryptographic boundary is defined by the enclosure of the host platform. Operations occur via calls from host applications and their internal daemons/processes. As such there are no untrusted services calling the services of the module
