Junos® OS Evolved MACsec Cryptographic Library
Junos® OS Evolved MACsec Cryptographic Library, from Juniper Networks, Inc., holds FIPS 140-3 certificate #5490 at overall level 1. The validation is active, with a sunset date of 2029-10-01. Below are its validation history, algorithm certificates and security policy, drawn from the NIST CMVP entry.
Caveat: When operated with module Junos® OS Evolved OpenSSL Cryptographic Module version 3.0.8 validated to FIPS 140-3 under Cert. #5400 in approved mode, and module Junos® OS Evolved Kernel Cryptographic Module version 2.0 validated to FIPS 140-3 under Cert. #5399, operating in approved mode. 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 random strings whose strength is modified by available entropy
