Mocana Cryptographic Loadable Kernel Module

FIPS 140-3 certificate #4818 · DigiCert, Inc. · data as of 2026-09-08

Mocana Cryptographic Loadable Kernel Module, from DigiCert, Inc., holds FIPS 140-3 certificate #4818 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.

Historical. Replaced by certificate #5322. Federal agencies may reference historical validations for existing systems only, not for new procurement.
Caveat: Interim validation. When operated in approved mode. No assurance of the minimum strength of generated SSPs (e.g., keys)
