Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 OpenSSL FIPS Provider
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 OpenSSL FIPS Provider, from Red Hat®, Inc., holds FIPS 140-3 certificate #4746 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.
Caveat: Interim validation. When operated in approved mode. When installed, initialized and configured as specified in Section 11 of the Security Policy. The module generates SSPs (e.g., keys) whose strengths are modified by available entropy.
