Secure Your Java Applications with FIPS 140-3 Validated Software from SafeLogic
Java remains a critical platform for enterprise and public sector applications, but without FIPS 140-validated encryption, Java-based applications fail to meet government and regulatory mandates.
CryptoComply Java 4.0 is a drop-in replacement for Bouncy Castle that's already FIPS 140-3 validated. It delivers secure encryption for Java applications without rewriting the codebase or managing years-long validation projects.
Why Java + Bouncy Castle for FIPS-Certified Encryption?
Bouncy Castle Java Encryption
Bouncy Castle is one of the most trusted cryptographic libraries for Java. It offers robust encryption and digital signature capabilities.
Benefits of Using Java in Regulated Environments:
- Robust ecosystem with Java's vast library of support, tools, and developer community
- Java's memory-safe architecture eliminates the possibility of CVEs caused by poor memory management
- Performance at scale with Java's reliability and speed supporting mission-critical use cases


What is CryptoComply Java?
CryptoComply Java is SafeLogic’s FIPS 140-3 validated drop-in cryptographic software built for Java environments using Bouncy Castle. It enables Java-based applications to meet strict security and compliance standards without sacrificing performance or developer productivity.
Designed as a drop-in replacement for standard Bouncy Castle, CryptoComply Java allows you to integrate validated cryptography into your existing codebase with minimal changes and ensures your encryption meets the highest standards.

- Extended support for CNSA 2.0 and PQ TLS integration
Stay tuned for the official release announcement in Q4 2025.

FIPS 140-3 Validation for Java 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.
Java FIPS Compliance vs. Validation: What's the Difference?
FIPS 140-Compliant means your product uses a validated encryption module from a third party, such as one from 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, and company name appear on the certificate. This demonstrates that the encryption module was tested and approved specifically for your use case.
Why Java 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 Java 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 Java Simplifies FIPS 140 Validation
Traditional FIPS 140-3 validation takes over two years and strains internal resources. For Java developers working with Bouncy Castle 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 Java eliminates the biggest barriers to FIPS validation:
- Drop-in deployment—no code changes required
- Bouncy Castle v2.0 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 commercial-grade enterprise support from SafeLogic's team of cryptography and compliance experts. With experience implementing cryptography across dozens of platforms, the SafeLogic team will rapidly answer your questions and resolve your issues, saving you time and money.
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:
- Validation (RapidCert)
- Maintenance (MaintainCert)
- Future Upgrades
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
