Neal,
I don't understand your comment. 10.8 is the current OSX version, which I assumed would be the version Apple was getting approved. Of course, the modules pdf doesn't state the version so everyone gets to guess. CoreCrypto was introduced in 10.7 (yes?) but I believe it wasn't necessarily the primary crypto module until 10.8. Either way, I know Shawn has said Apple doesn't seek approvals for previous OS versions simply because it doesn't make sense. For those people still using 10.6, they can use the current FIPS 140-2 approval because CoreCrypto wasn't introduced yet. It's only the systems that are still at 10.7 that have to upgrade to 10.8 to make use of this approval (and should since 10.8 fixes a lot of the 10.7 problems).

Walter is correct. Because it takes so long for the NIST process to complete, there's no reason to even attempt to go backwards. Remember, CoreCrypto is brand new so it hasn't been in OSX

CoreCrypto / CoreCrypto Kernel is being validated for use under OS X 10.8
and was just released in iOS. From what I understand, once CoreCrypto is approved, the next versions will be much easier to get new/upgrade approvals for. With iOS7 coming, getting the original CoreCrypto approved is a huge deal.

I am assuming the other three modules will move to the finalization step by next week or so. Once all four modules have been approved, Mac/iOS users should be able to go to their DAAs, CIOs, and IT managers and declare they are compliant!!!!!

Shawn has posted this many, many, many times now. This covers iOS6 only. No prior iOS version is covered.

Thanks this is good news.

So does what iOS versions does this crypto cover?  Just the current iOS6?  If not how far back?

Entered stage 5. That is signatures and the assignment of the number. Victory dance on the device encryption!
