wolfSSL Inc., a globally renowned leader in cryptography and network security solutions, is thrilled to announce the world’s first SP800 140Br1 compliant FIPS 140-3 Validation Certificate #4718 for wolfSSL’s wolfCrypt module.

EDMONDS, Wash., July 16, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — wolfSSL, INC., has partnered with AEGISOLVE, INC., on this unprecedented automated pilot program. Aegisolve is accredited by the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP Lab Code: 200802-0) for Cryptographic and Security Testing to assess and validate cryptographic based security systems and telecommunications infrastructure.

wolfSSL’s wolfCrypt module is the world’s first SP800 140Br1 compliant FIPS 140-3 Validation Certificate #4718

“As we move forward, wolfSSL remains focused on enhancing our technologies and expanding our capabilities. We are dedicated to continuous innovation in security. The advancements in our FIPS 140-3 module highlight our commitment to delivering state-of-the-art cryptographic solutions that meet the rigorous demands of today’s cybersecurity landscape.” Stated wolfSSL’s CTO, Todd Ouska. “Our collaboration with AEGISOLVE is just the beginning of a new era in cryptographic security, paving the way for future innovations and industry standards.”

“As a first of its kind, this is a tremendous achievement and a huge step forward for the next generation of FIPS 140-3 Validated Cryptographic Modules.” Reported Travis Spann, Founder and President of AEGISOLVE (NVLAP Lab Code: 200802-0). “AEGISOLVE is proud to have collaborated with the high-caliber wolfSSL team in the NIST SP800-140Br1 Pilot Project to achieve this groundbreaking milestone and we are eager to assist others to achieve the same goal.”

FIPS 140-3 validation testing is a rigorous and extensive process including detailed source code reviews, design reviews, documentation reviews, finite state machine verifications, CVE threat analysis, error injection, port sniffing, configuration management verifications, operational testing and test evidence auditing to the applicable requirements of the FIPS 140-3 Derived Test Requirements and FIPS 140-3 Implementation Guidance.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) under the Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP) issues the 140 Publication Series to coordinate the requirements and standards for cryptographic modules for use by departments and agencies of the United States federal government.

Highlights: Under wolfCrypt FIPS 140-2, power on times in standard and embedded targets could be slower due to power on self test requirements of the module. With the wolfCrypt FIPS 140-3 module self-tests are now only required the first time an algorithm is used or when the application decides is an ideal time to run the test during a slower event cycle and ahead of first algorithm use. This means much faster boot times and optimal power and resource consumption with careful planning!**

Differences between wolfCrypt FIPS 140-2 and wolfCrypt FIPS 140-3:

– 3DES removed from the module, 3DES no longer available

+ CAST (conditional algo self tests)

+ KDF-TLS, TLS v1.2 KDF and TLSv1.3 KDF

+ SSH KDF

+ AES-OFB mode

+ RSA 3072, 4096 and PSS

+ New Degraded mode of operation, which means that in the event of a CAST failure other algorithm services will remain available.

Power Off When Limit Switch is Depressed: This state is ideal for traditional cabinet doors, where closing the door depresses the switch to cut power safely.Power On When Limit Switch is Depressed: This state is perfect for pocket doors, where the door being pushed back upon opening activates the switch, turning the power on.

Customizable Connectivity

The flexibility of Docking Drawer’s solutions also allows for connecting multiple limit switches to a single safety outlet or vice versa, offering customization options to adapt to the unique demands of any project.

“At Docking Drawer, we’re not just creating products; we’re setting new standards for safety and functionality,” states Scott Dickey, founder of Docking Drawer. “Our Safety Interlock Outlets represent the culmination of our dedication to innovation and empowering homeowners and professionals with safer, more organized spaces—even beyond the kitchen and bathroom.”
