RSA BSAFE® Crypto-C Micro Edition

FIPS 140-2 certificate #4306 · Dell Australia Pty Limited, BSAFE Product Team · data as of 2026-10-09

RSA BSAFE® Crypto-C Micro Edition, from Dell Australia Pty Limited, BSAFE Product Team, holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #4306 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. When entropy is externally loaded, no assurance of the minimum strength of generated keys

Module description

Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.

BSAFE Crypto-C Micro Edition is a software module providing a comprehensive set of cryptographic algorithms, including asymmetric key algorithms, symmetric key algorithms, message digests, message authentication, and deterministic random bit generator (DRBG) support. Developers can use the full set of algorithms through a single Application Programming Interface (API) or select a specific set of algorithms to reduce code size or meet performance requirements.
