Splunk Cryptographic Module
Splunk Cryptographic Module, from Splunk Inc., holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #4024 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.
Caveat: When operated in FIPS mode. No assurance of the minimum strength of generated keys. The validation entry is a non-security relevant modification to Cert. #3503.
