QNu Labs Cryptographic Module

FIPS 140-2 certificate #4996 · QuNu Labs Private Limited · data as of 2026-10-09

QNu Labs Cryptographic Module, from QuNu Labs Private Limited, holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #4996 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. The module makes no assurance of the minimum strength of random strings and generated keys. This validation entry is a non-security-relevant modification to Cert. #2038
