Junos® OS Evolved Kernel Cryptographic Module
Junos® OS Evolved Kernel Cryptographic Module, from Juniper Networks, Inc., holds FIPS 140-3 certificate #4776 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 the approved mode. When installed, initialized and configured as specified in Section 11 of the Security Policy with module Junos® OS Evolved OpenSSL Cryptographic Module version 3.0.8 validated to FIPS 140-3 under Cert. #4775 operating in the approved mode. The module generates random strings whose strengths are modified by available entropy.
