Byos OpenSSL FIPS Provider

FIPS 140-2 certificate #4964 · Byos Inc. · data as of 2026-10-09

Byos OpenSSL FIPS Provider, from Byos Inc., holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #4964 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.

Historical. Moved to historical list due to sunsetting. Federal agencies may reference historical validations for existing systems only, not for new procurement. Observed moving to historical on 2026-09-22. It was one of the last FIPS 140-2 certificates, all moved at the 140-2 sunset on 2026-09-21.
Caveat: When operated in FIPS mode. No assurance of the minimum strength of generated keys.

Module description

Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.

The Module is a software library providing a C-language application program interface (API) for use by applications that require cryptographic functionality. The Module is classified under FIPS 140-2 as a software module, with a multi-chip standalone module embodiment. The physical cryptographic boundary is the general-purpose computer on which the module is installed. The logical cryptographic boundary of the Module is the FIPS Provider, a dynamically loadable library. The Module performs no communication other than with the calling application via APIs that invoke the Module.
