KeyVault Hardware Security Module (kvHSM)

FIPS 140-2 certificate #4409 · WiSECURE Technologies · data as of 2026-10-09

KeyVault Hardware Security Module (kvHSM), from WiSECURE Technologies, holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #4409 at overall level 3. 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.

Module description

Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.

KeyVault Hardware Security Module (kvHSM) is a hardware security module , a vault that stores and manages cryptographic keys. It is a powerful and protected PCIe card. It governs the entire life cycle of keys, including generation, distribution, storage, destruction and archiving, and provides data encryption, data decryption, signature generation, signature verification, message digest, message authentication code (MAC), random number generation and key management services to systems.
