SUSE Linux Enterprise Libgcrypt Cryptographic Module
SUSE Linux Enterprise Libgcrypt Cryptographic Module, from SUSE LLC, holds FIPS 140-3 certificate #5248 at overall level 1. The validation is active, with a sunset date of 2031-04-26. Below are its validation history, algorithm certificates and security policy, drawn from the NIST CMVP entry.
Caveat: When operated in approved mode and installed, initialized and configured as specified in Section 11 of the Security Policy. No assurance of minimum security of SSPs (e.g., keys, bit strings) that are externally loaded, or of SSPs established with externally loaded SSPs. The module generates SSPs (e.g., keys) whose strengths are modified by available entropy.
