FIPS 140-2 certificate #4636 · Ribbon Communications, Inc. · data as of 2026-10-09

SBC 5400 Session Border Controller, from Ribbon Communications, Inc., holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #4636 at overall level 2. 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 2026-09-08.
Caveat: When installed, initialized and configured as specified in Section 3.1 of the Security Policy. When FIPS Kit 550-06508 is installed, initialized and configured as specified in Section 3 of the Security Policy.
