Additional Cryptographic Module Lists

The following three lists are included for historical purposes only. They reflect the various cryptographic implementations which met certain conditions specified in FIPS 140-1, which allowed for a transition from using FS1027 endorsed (and FIPS 140 compliant) implementations to using FIPS 140-1 validated modules.    The three lists in this section should no longer be used by agencies and departments to acquire cryptographic modules.
 

• Until January 31, 1997, agencies could acquire implementations that had been submitted for validation under the CMV Program.  Since that date, agencies have been required to purchase implementations containing cryptographic modules that have been validated under the CMV Program (or meet the next bulleted condition below).
• Until June 30, 1997, agencies could also acquire implementations that had either (1) received a Federal Standard 1027 endorsement from NSA or (2)  had been affirmed by the vendor as meeting FIPS 140 (both predecessors to FIPS 140-1).  The affirmation letter must have been received by NIST prior to June 30, 1994.  The following two lists indicate implementations which met these requirements:

FIPS 140-1 specifies that "For up to three years following June 30, 1994, equipment with cryptographic modules complying to FIPS 140, General Security Requirements for Equipment Using the Data Encryption Standard (formerly FS 1027), may be purchased in lieu of equipment with modules that comply with FIPS 140-1.  These modules either shall have been endorsed by the National Security Agency (NSA) as complying to Federal Standard 1027, or shall be affirmed in writing by the manufacturer as complying to FIPS 140." [FIPS 140-1, Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules, Paragraph 14, Implementation Schedule, page 3].  The following products received Federal Standard 1027 Endorsement from the National Security Agency.  These products were acceptable in lieu of products validated under the CMV Program until June 30, 1997.  This list should no longer be used by a Federal department or agency that is purchasing equipment.
