DINAMO Pocket Hardware Security Module

FIPS 140-2 certificate #4083 · DINAMO Networks, Inc. · data as of 2026-10-09

DINAMO Pocket Hardware Security Module, from DINAMO Networks, Inc., holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #4083 at overall level 2. The validation is historical: agencies may keep the module in existing systems but not buy it new. Below are its algorithm certificates, its validation history, and the list moves this tracker has observed, which NIST does not date.

Historical. Moved to historical list due to sunsetting. Federal agencies may reference historical validations for existing systems only, not for new procurement. Observed moving to historical on 2026-09-22. It was one of the last FIPS 140-2 certificates, all moved at the 140-2 sunset on 2026-09-21.
Caveat: When installed, initialized and configured as specified in Section 3 of the Security Policy

Module description

Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.

The DINAMO family of Hardware Security Modules are network attached devices that offer a secure environment for the storage and lifecycle management of cryptographic keys, as well as offering cryptographic services such as encryption, digital signatures, key generation, and authentication. The family of DINAMO HSMs reduce risk and operation costs by centralizing enterprise cryptographic key management.
