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.

This page documents our current NSS FIPS 140 validation.

Platforms for 2011

Level 1
- RHEL 6 x86 32 bit (no AES-NI)
- RHEL 6 x86 64 bit

Algorithms

Plan is to validate all FIPS-approved algorithms that NSS implements and NIST has tests for. There are eight such algorithms.

Algorithms	Key Size	Modes	Certificates
TripleDES	KO 1,2,3 (56,112,168)	TECB(e/d; KO 1,2,3) TCBC(e/d; KO 1,2,3)	Pending
AES	128/192/256	ECB(e/d; 128,192,256) CBC(e/d; 128,192,256)	Pending
SHS (including all variants: SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512) SHS	SHA-1 (BYTE-only) SHA-256 (BYTE-only) SHA-384 (BYTE-only) SHA-512 (BYTE-only)	N/A	Pending
HMAC	HMAC-SHA1, HMAC-SHA256, HMAC-SHA384, HMAC-SHA512	KeySize < BlockSize, KeySize = BlockSize, KeySize > BlockSize	Pending
DRBG	N/A	Hash_DRBG of NIST SP 800-90	Pending
DSA	512-1024	PQG(gen)MOD(1024); PQG(ver)MOD(1024); KEYGEN(Y)MOD(1024); SIG(gen)MOD(1024); SIG(ver)MOD(1024);	Pending
RSA	1024-8192	ALG[RSASSA-PKCS1_V1_5]; SIG(gen); SIG(ver);	Pending
ECDSA (Extended ECC)	163-571	PKG: CURVES( ALL-P ALL-K ALL-B ); PKV: CURVES( ALL-P ALL-K ALL-B ); SIG(gen): CURVES( ALL-P ALL-K ALL-B ); SIG(ver): CURVES( ALL-P ALL-K ALL-B );	Not In 2011 Validation
ECDSA (Basic ECC)	256-521	PKG: CURVES( ALL-P P-256 P-384 P-521 ); PKV: CURVES( ALL-P P-256 P-384 P-521 ); SIG(gen): CURVES( ALL-P P-256 P-384 P-521 ); SIG(ver): CURVES( P-256 P-384 P-521 );	Not In 2011 Validation
