The software cryptographic module (libsoftokn3.so) in NSS 3.11 will be submitted to [http://www.bkpsecurity.com/ BKP Security], an external validation lab, for [http://csrc.nist.gov/cryptval/140-2.htm FIPS 140-2] validation. To complete the validation, we will produce some code and a lot of documentation to demonstrate that NSS adheres to the standards. This work is being tracked in our [http://wiki.mozilla.org/FIPS_Validation FIPS Wiki page]. We are making our documentation for FIPS 140-2 validation available on our FIPS Wiki page to make it easier for other vendors to validate other versions of NSS. | The software cryptographic module (libsoftokn3.so) in NSS 3.11 will be submitted to [http://www.bkpsecurity.com/ BKP Security], an external validation lab, for [http://csrc.nist.gov/cryptval/140-2.htm FIPS 140-2] validation.

Many people ask us which version of the Mozilla clients (Firefox | Many people ask us which version of the Mozilla clients (Firefox browser and Thunderbird mail client) will contain a FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic module. These plans are still being reviewed, but we expect Mozilla to be able to ship the FIPS 140-2 validated module in the 2.0 release. [http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/roadmap/archives/2005_12.html Here is the current Firefox Roadmap]. Of course, any change in the NSS schedule or the Mozilla schedule could cause this target to move. | ||
