| Am aware that some folks here may know this answer…
Does each certificate in the Validated 140-1 and 140-2 Cryptographic Modules listing provide a comprehensive list of the approved security functions (algorithm implementations) under the cell named "Level/Description" for each certificate issued? Empirically would appear to be the case.
For example, when I examine Apple's certification:
Which lists in the "Level/Description" under "-FIPS-approved algorithms:": - AES (Cert. #1400)
- DSA (Cert. #453)
- ECDSA (Cert. #176)
- HMAC (Cert. #823)
- RNG (Cert. #767)
- RSA (Cert. #681)
- SHS (Cert. #1271)
- TDES (Cert. #955)
Those correspond exactly to the listed validated algorithm implementations the supporting documented linked to that certificate: Apple FIPS.
This supports the supposition the that if an algorithm is not listed under the "-FIPS-approved algorithms:" section of the certificate listing, such algorithm implementation is not certified. Anyone aware of anything to the contrary?
( Note: for the first time viewer, the certificate list includes a section named "-Other algorithms" within many of the "Level/Description" cells which is not clear that it means "-Unapproved algorithms" but it does… ;-) )
