Juniper Kernel Crypto Cryptographic Module
Caveat: When operated in FIPS mode with bound module Juniper OpenSSL Cryptographic Module validated to FIPS 140-2 under Cert. #4131 operating in FIPS mode. The module generates random strings whose strengths are modified by available entropy
This caveat mentions binding. A bound module inherits the earliest sunset of the modules it binds to, so the sunset date above can be optimistic.
