What is a “private label” validation?
Even though the OpenSSL FIPS Object Module FIPS 140-2 validations were designed for direct use by commercial software vendors, for various reasons some vendors prefer to obtain separate validations for their OpenSSL derived software. That sounds wasteful, and it is, but in fact the majority of all level 1 FIPS 140-2 validated software products are based on OpenSSL. Due to our extensive experience in such validations we can cost-effectively provide the documentation and CMVP test lab interaction for private label validations.
