FIPS 140-2 certificate #4070 · SUSE, LLC · data as of 2026-08-28
Active. Sunset date 2026-09-21, 23 days away. This is the FIPS 140-2 sunset: after it, agencies may keep the module only in existing systems.
Caveat: When operated in FIPS mode and installed, initialized and configured as specified in Section 9.1 of the Security Policy. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy.
