Hewlett Packard Enterprise OpenSSL Cryptographic Module on Ubuntu Linux

FIPS 140-2 certificate #4617 · Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company · data as of 2026-10-09

Hewlett Packard Enterprise OpenSSL Cryptographic Module on Ubuntu Linux, from Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company, holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #4617 at overall level 1. 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. The module generates keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy
