wolfSSL Inc. SP800-140C, SP800-140D and Post-Quantum efforts update!
April 30, 2025 - wolf SSL - This is an update to previous post wolfSSL Inc. SP800-140C and Post-Quantum efforts update.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has recently updated its guidelines, enabling the certification of several post-quantum cryptographic algorithms through the Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP). Notably, the digital signature algorithms ML-DSA (CRYSTALS-Dilithium), SLH-DSA, LMS, and XMSS are now fully certifiable under the updated SP800-140C standards. Similarly ML-KEM (CRYSTALS-Kyber) is fully certifiable under the updated SP800-140D standards.
In response to these developments, wolfSSL Inc. is proactively planning submissions to the CMVP for all except SLH-DSA. (If you would like to see SLH-DSA included please let us know sooner than later before we submit)
wolfSSL Inc. has a strong track record in cryptographic module validation, having previously achieved FIPS 140-3 Certificate #4718 for its wolfCrypt Module, the world’s first SP 800-140Br1 validated certificate.
By staying ahead of regulatory changes and actively engaging in the certification process, wolfSSL continues to demonstrate its commitment to providing robust and compliant cryptographic solutions in the evolving landscape of post-quantum security.
As a reminder, be sure the January 1st, 2026 ESV soft transition does not catch you unprepared. The deadline for mandatory ESV validation across all FIPS modules is rapidly approaching. Leverage wolfSSL’s proven expertise to navigate this critical shift. Engage our staff now to architect a robust roadmap and guarantee a successful post-2026 FIPS compliance strategy.
