Secure Your OpenSSL Applications with FIPS 140-3 Validated Software from SafeLogic

If you’re using OpenSSL in a product destined for federal, defense, or regulated industry deployment, you need a FIPS-validated version—under your name—to meet the procurement requirements.

CryptoComply Core is drop-in compatible, fully FIPS 140-3 validated cryptographic software based on OpenSSL 3.5. It is engineered to deliver rapid validation, optimized performance, and post-quantum readiness.

Why OpenSSL for Secure Cryptography?

The Industry Standard for TLS and Encryption

OpenSSL is one of the most trusted and widely deployed cryptographic libraries in the world.

It powers secure communications across web servers, operating systems, containers, VPNs, and cloud platforms—providing essential support for TLS/SSL, key management, and cryptographic primitives like AES, RSA, ECC and SHA-2.

OpenSSL is the default choice for implementing modern encryption at scale.

FIPS 140-3 Validation for OpenSSL Applications

FIPS 140-3 is the U.S. government's cryptographic module standard required for federal procurements and foundational to other compliance regimes like FedRAMP, CMMC, and Common Criteria. 

Any vendor selling security software to the U.S. federal agencies or organizations operating in regulated sectors must ensure that cryptographic modules are FIPS 140-validated.

OpenSSL FIPS Compliance vs. Validation: What's the Difference?

FIPS 140-Compliant means your product utilizes a validated encryption module from a third-party vendor, such as an open-source vendor, cloud provider, or open-source project. While this may meet baseline technical requirements, your organization is not listed on the CMVP certificate.

FIPS 140-Validated means your organization has its own certificate issued by NIST's Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP). Your product or operating environment, along with your company name, appears on the certificate. This demonstrates that the encryption module was tested and approved specifically for your use case.

Why OpenSSL FIPS Validation is the Safer, Smarter Path

For any organization serious about serving the public sector or regulated markets, having your own CMVP certificate confirms:

  • Visibility in federal procurement processes
  • Compliance with layered frameworks like FedRAMP, CMMC, and Common Criteria
  • Long-term control over updates and maintenance

CryptoComply Core gives you a direct path to your own FIPS 140 certification, without the complexity and delays of a traditional validation process. SafeLogic handles the lifecycle, so you stay secure, validated, and ready for governmet opportunities.

How CryptoComply Core Simplifies FIPS 140 Validation

Traditional FIPS 140-3 validation takes over two years and strains internal resources. For developers working with OpenSSL or other cryptographic libraries, compliance is typically achieved either by rewriting code or outsourcing to a third-party module and hoping it stays current.

CryptoComply Core eliminates the biggest barriers to FIPS validation:

  • Drop-in deployment—no code changes required
  • OpenSSL 3.5 compatibility
  • Enterprise-grade documentation and support
  • RapidCert gets your company’s name on a NIST FIPS certificate in as little as two months
  • MaintainCert ensures your certification stays current and active without costly revalidations

Why Choose SafeLogic?

When it comes to FIPS 140-3 validation, speed, reliability, and expertise matter. SafeLogic delivers all three, enabling your organization to achieve compliance faster, maintain it effortlessly, and stay ahead of evolving cryptographic standards.

Accelerated FIPS 140 Validation

Traditional FIPS validation can take two to three years, involving consultants, labs, and coordination with NIST. SafeLogic customers achieve certification in as little as six to eight weeks with RapidCert—a proven program that removes bottlenecks and accelerates market entry.

Ongoing FIPS Certification Risk Management

Most teams underestimate the challenge of keeping a FIPS certificate in good standing. If your cryptographic module goes "historical", you risk losing contracts and halting sales. With SafeLogic's MaintainCert, your certificate stays Active—even as codebases, platforms, and requirements change.

Commercial-Grade Enterprise Support

Your subscription with SafeLogic includes:

  • Custom builds (static / dynamic)
  • Toolchain and integration assistance
  • Ongoing compatibility with major and minor software releases

Predictable Annual Costs, Zero Surprises

With SafeLogic, you can plan your compliance budget with confidence. Unlike other vendors, where costs are fragmented across consultants, test labs, and additional engineering, SafeLogic provides a single-subscription-based model that covers:

US Made and TAA Compliant

All SafeLogic software is made in the USA and fully compliant with the Trade Agreements Act (TAA), ensuring eligibility for federal procurement and security-sensitive programs
