FIPS 140-2 certificate #4072 · Fortinet, Inc. · data as of 2026-10-21

FortiGate-600D/1200D/1500D/3000D/3700D and FortiGate-5001D with FortiGate-5144C Chassis, from Fortinet, Inc., holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #4072 at overall level 2. 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 - replaced by certificate #4612. Federal agencies may reference historical validations for existing systems only, not for new procurement.
Caveat: When operated in FIPS mode and installed, initialized and configured as specified in the FIPS 140-2 Compliant Operation Section of the Security Policy with the tamper evident seals and entropy token installed as indicated in the Security Policy. Authentication at level 3 is only applicable when identity-based authentication is enforced for the User role. No assurance of the minimum strength of generated keys
