Palo Alto Networks Core Crypto Module
Palo Alto Networks Core Crypto Module, from Palo Alto Networks, holds FIPS 140-3 certificate #5401 at overall level 1. The validation is active, with a sunset date of 2029-07-25. Below are its validation history, algorithm certificates and security policy, drawn from the NIST CMVP entry.
Caveat: When installed, initialized and configured as specified in Section 11.1 of the Security Policy. The module generates SSPs (e.g., 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
