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.

Tested environments

Qualcomm(R) Snapdragon(TM) 888 5G Mobile Platform and Snapdragon(R) 8cx Gen 3 Mobile Compute Platform

Operational environments the module was tested on, as listed by NIST CMVP.

CVEs that may affect this product

sec-certs has not matched any CVE to this certificate. That is not proof the product is unaffected.

Related CVEs and certificate references are automated matches by sec-certs, not reviewed by humans: treat them as "may be affected" and verify before acting.
