Qualcomm® Secure Processing Unit

FIPS 140-2 certificate #4293 · Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. · data as of 2026-10-21

Qualcomm® Secure Processing Unit, from Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #4293 at overall level 2. 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.

Historical. Moved to historical list due to dependency on certificate #3911. Federal agencies may reference historical validations for existing systems only, not for new procurement.
Caveat: When operated in FIPS mode with module Qualcomm(R) Secure Processing Unit (SPU) Random Number Generator (RNG) validated to FIPS 140-2 under Cert. #3911 operating in FIPS mode
