Not so fast. These algorithms were validated on 6/7/2011. This doesn't mean they have FIPS approval, http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp/documents/140-1/140InProcess.pdf http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp/inprocess.html. Shawn might expand on this but from what I remember him telling me, the algorithms are the first step. The next step is incorporating all of them into the iOS package and getting approval for everything.
If you review the link I sent, you'll see that iPad and iPhone FIPS cryptographic module has been rejoined by Apple FIPS cryptographic module. Hopefully this means the new module for Lion has been submitted for approval.
