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 sunsetting. Federal agencies may reference historical validations for existing systems only, not for new procurement.
Caveat: When operated in FIPS mode and installed, initialized and configured as specified in the FIPS 140-2 Compliant Operation Section of the Security Policy with the tamper evident seals installed as indicated in the Security Policy. Authentication at level 3 is only applicable when identity-based authentication is enforced for the User role.
