OpenSSL FIPS Object Module RE

OpenSSL Software Services Inc. - FIPS 140 #2473

historicalLevel 1

The OpenSSL FIPS Object Module RE is a general purpose cryptographic module delivered as open source code. It is designed for ease of use with the popular OpenSSL cryptographic library and toolkit and is available for use without charge for a wide variety of platforms. The basic validation can also be extended quickly and affordably to accommodate new platforms and many types of modifications.

Caveat
When built, installed, protected and initialized as assumed by the Crypto Officer role and as specified in the provided Security Policy. Appendix A of the provided Security Policy specifies the actual distribution tar file containing the source code of this module. There shall be no additions, deletions or alterations to the tar file contents as used during module build. The distribution tar file shall be verified as specified in Appendix A of the provided Security Policy. Installation and protection shall be completed as specified in Appendix A of the provided Security Policy. Initialization shall be invoked as per Section 4 of the provided Security Policy. Any deviation from specified verification, protection, installation and initialization procedures will result in a non FIPS 140-2 compliant module
Level exceptions

Algorithm families of the CAVP certificates listed for this module, plus post-quantum algorithms named in its documents.

CAVP algorithm certificates (18)

Each approved algorithm in a FIPS 140-3 module needs its own NIST CAVP certificate. Older numeric certificates link to their NIST page; ACVP certificates (A1234) can be looked up in the CAVP validation search.
