Cloudera Cryptographic Module for Libgcrypt
Cloudera Cryptographic Module for Libgcrypt, from Cloudera, Inc., holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #4148 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 installed and configured per Security Policy section 3.1 and operated in FIPS mode. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy. This validation entry is a non-security-relevant modification to Cert. #3604
