Spectralink Cryptographic Module for BoringSSL

FIPS 140-2 certificate #3950 · Spectralink · data as of 2026-09-13

Spectralink Cryptographic Module for BoringSSL, from Spectralink, holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #3950 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. 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 Section 12.1 of the Security Policy and operated in FIPS mode. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy
