IQVIA Java Crypto Module
IQVIA Java Crypto Module, from IQVIA, holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #4202 at overall level 1. 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.
Caveat: When operated in FIPS mode. The output of the DRBG shall not be used to generate keys

Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The cryptographic module is a single Java Archive (JAR) binary, named DvSecurityAPI.jar, that provides cryptographic and secure communication services for other applications developed by IQVIA. In this document, those applications will be referred to as the calling application. The module is a standalone cryptographic library that can be called to provide encryption, decryption, hash generation and verification, certificate generation and verification, random bit generation, and message authentication functions.
