Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 gnutls
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 gnutls, from Red Hat, Inc., holds FIPS 140-3 certificate #4780 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: Interim validation. When operated in approved mode. When installed, initialized and configured as specified in Section 11 of the Security Policy. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy.
