Target Release: NSS 3.11
Softoken is a component of [[NSS]], and has a separate version number. The most recent FIPS validated Softoken is 3.12.4 and is in '''NSS 3.12.4''' and '''NSS 3.12.5''' and '''NSS 3.12.6'''. Binaries are available [https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/security/nss/releases/NSS_3_12_4_RTM/ | here].


=== Platforms ===
NSS softoken has completed FIPS 140 validation four times: 1997, 1999, 2002, 2007 and 2009. View [http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/fips/ | NSS FIPS validation history ] here. View the [[FIPS2009]] validation here. 


This page documents our current NSS FIPS 140 validation.
== Platforms for 2011 ==
* Level 1
* Level 1
** RHEL 4 x86
** RHEL '''6''' x86 32 bit (no AES-NI)
** Windows XP Service Pack 2
** RHEL '''6''' x86 64 bit
** 64-bit Solaris 10 AMD64
** HP-UX B.11.11 PA-RISC
** Mac OS X 10.4
* Level 2
** RHEL 3 or RHEL 4 x86 (see Note).
** 64-bit Trusted Solaris 8 SPARC
 
Note: Level 2 testing must be performed on an operating system that has received Common Criteria certification at level EAL2 or higher. Qualified operating systems today include RHEL 3 (EAL3), Trusted Solaris 8, and Windows 2000 (EAL4). If RHEL 4 achieves Common Criteria certification (at level EAL4) in time, we will perform level 2 testing on RHEL 4; otherwise we will do level 2 testing on RHEL 3.

In this validation, we should validate AES and Triple DES first because their
== Dependant Bugs ==
implementations are stable.  Next we should test SHS because RNG and DSA depend on SHA-1.  After SHS is tested, we can test HMAC.  Finally, when the new RNG

and big num library code is checked in, we can test the rest of the algorithms
(RNG, DSA, and RSA).

NSS FIPS 140 validation

Softoken is a component of NSS, and has a separate version number. The most recent FIPS validated Softoken is 3.12.4 and is in NSS 3.12.4 and NSS 3.12.5 and NSS 3.12.6. Binaries are available | here.

NSS softoken has completed FIPS 140 validation four times: 1997, 1999, 2002, 2007 and 2009. View | NSS FIPS validation history here. View the FIPS2009 validation here.
