Certificate #4272

Details

Module Name
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 GnuTLS Cryptographic Module
Standard
FIPS 140-2
Status
Active
Sunset Date
9/21/2026
Overall Level
1
Caveat
When operated in FIPS mode and installed, initialized and configured as specified in Section 9 and 10 of the Security Policy. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy.
Security Level Exceptions
  • Physical Security: N/A
Module Type
Software
Embodiment
Multi-Chip Stand Alone
Description
GnuTLS is a secure communications library implementing the TLS and DTLS protocols. It provides a simple C language application programming interface to access the secure communications protocols as well as APIs to parse and write X.509, PKCS#12, and other required structures which is shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.
Tested Configuration(s)
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 running on Dell PowerEdge R440 with an Intel(R) Xeon(R) Silver 4216 with PAA
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 running on Dell PowerEdge R440 with an Intel(R) Xeon(R) Silver 4216 without PAA (single-user mode)
