FIPS 140-2 certificate #4600 · HYCU, Inc. · data as of 2026-08-28
Historical. Moved to historical list due to sunsetting. Federal agencies may reference historical validations for existing systems only, not for new procurement.
Caveat: When installed, initialized and configured as specified in the Security Policy Section 8 and operated in FIPS mode. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy. This validation entry is a non-security-relevant modification to Cert. #3514
