SecureSyncGuard
SecureSyncGuard, from Safran Trusted 4D Inc., holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #4721 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.
Caveat: When operated in FIPS mode. The module makes no assurance of the minimum strength of random strings and generated keys
