Apple's FIPS Cryptographic Module appears to have been added to the NIST Module Validation Lists (FIPS 140-1 and FIPS 140-2 Vendor List). See:
I wonder if that means it is finally FIPS-140 validated?
Apple – please provide substantive documentation for this feature when it rolls out.

I had asked Apple for the Security Policy document, but they would not provide it to me. Has anyone seen this document?
I need to know how to configure systems and software to make sure things work when the Mac is running in FIPS 140 mode. I assume there will be a mode, or some way to turn off non FIPS 140 cryptos...

Apple's Cryptographic Module has reached the final step towards FIPS 140-2 certification, entering step 5 within the last week. I don't know how long this step takes but hopefully it will only be some paperwork.
iPad and iPhone modules are still in step 1.
5. Finalization
- Final resolution of validation review comments submitted to NIST and CSEC.
- Testing documents updated based on resolutions and submitted to NIST and CSEC.
- Certificate number assigned.
- Certificate printing and signature process initiated.
