Ubuntu 20.04 OpenSSL Cryptographic Module

FIPS 140-2 certificate #4292 · Canonical Ltd. · data as of 2026-10-09

Ubuntu 20.04 OpenSSL Cryptographic Module, from Canonical Ltd., holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #4292 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.

Status timeline

As observed by this tracker's snapshots. NIST publishes no dates for list moves; observation began 2026-08-21, so earlier changes carry no date.

  • 2026-08-21: first observed by this tracker, status historical at the time of the earliest snapshot
  • 2026-09-22: observed moving from active to historical
  • Validation dates on record: 2022-09-06
