Oracle Linux 7 Libreswan Cryptographic Module

FIPS 140-2 certificate #4266 · Oracle Corporation · data as of 2026-10-09

Oracle Linux 7 Libreswan Cryptographic Module, from Oracle Corporation, holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #4266 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.

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 operated in FIPS mode with Oracle Linux 7 NSS Cryptographic Module validated to FIPS 140-2 under Cert. #4171 operating in FIPS mode and Oracle Linux OpenSSL Cryptographic Module validated to FIPS 140-2 under Cert. #4170 operating in FIPS mode
