Junos® OS Evolved OpenSSL Cryptographic Module
Junos® OS Evolved OpenSSL Cryptographic Module, from Juniper Networks, Inc., holds FIPS 140-3 certificate #5400 at overall level 1. The validation is active, with a sunset date of 2029-09-02. Below are its validation history, algorithm certificates and security policy, drawn from the NIST CMVP entry.
Caveat: When operated in approved mode with module Junos® OS Evolved Kernel Cryptographic Module version 2.0 validated to FIPS 140-3 under Cert. #5399 operating in the Approved mode. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy. No assurance of minimum security of SSPs (e.g. keys, bit strings) that are externally loaded, or of SSPs established with externally loaded SSPs.
