SQLCipher Cryptographic Module (Mobile)

FIPS 140-2 certificate #4707 · Zetetic, LLC · data as of 2026-10-09

SQLCipher Cryptographic Module (Mobile), from Zetetic, LLC, holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #4707 at overall level 1. 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. The module makes no assurance of the minimum strength of random strings and generated keys

Module description

Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.

The SQLCipher Cryptographic Module is a cryptographic engine that integrates with SQLCipher, enhancing encrypted database operations with a trusted security layer. SQLCipher provides full database encryption and data integrity protection for local storage at rest. This module guarantees that all data stored and retrieved through SQLCipher is encrypted, decrypted, and verified using a reliable implementation for applications demanding high levels of data security.
