Accelerate AWS-LC FIPS 140-3 Certification
with Enterprise Support
Simplify AWS FIPS Compliance for Your Applications
Meeting FIPS 140-3 requirements shouldn’t mean stalling your product roadmap. CryptoComply AWS-LC pairs the high-performance cryptographic foundation of AWS-LC with enterprise support, customer-owned FIPS certification, and long-term lifecycle maintenance.
For software teams building products for government, defense, financial services, and other regulated environments, SafeLogic provides an accelerated path to certification—reducing the engineering burden so your team can focus on core development.
Why AWS-LC for Modern Applications?
AWS Libcrypto (AWS-LC) is a general-purpose cryptographic library maintained by the AWS Cryptography team, derived from BoringSSL and OpenSSL.
Designed for performance, security, and portability, AWS-LC supports cryptographic operations behind TLS connections, digital signatures, and data protection. It targets OpenSSL 1.1.1 API compatibility, providing
familiar interfaces for teams working within established C and C++ architectures.
CryptoComply AWS-LC brings this open-source foundation into SafeLogic’s trusted cryptographic software family.
Features and Benefits
of CryptoComply AWS-LC
Customer-Owned FIPS 140 Certification
Obtain a FIPS 140-3 certificate associated with your organization and cryptographic software, supporting procurement requirements and customer security reviews.
Expert AWS-LC Integration Support
Get direct guidance on application compatibility, custom build requirements, and deployment configurations for your AWS-LC stack.
Post-Quantum Cryptography Readiness
Prepare your architecture for quantum-resistant key establishment with support for ML-KEM, a NIST-standardized post-quantum algorithm.
Continuous Lifecycle Maintenance
Protect your software against emerging vulnerabilities and shifting operating environments with ongoing, proactive maintenance.
Prepare for Post-Quantum Cryptography
with ML-KEM
Applications protecting long-lived sensitive data require a pragmatic strategy for quantum resistance.
CryptoComply AWS-LC grants your team access to support for ML-KEM, enabling you to test and deploy post-quantum key establishment with your current application architecture. SafeLogic helps evaluate your intended release and configuration, bridging your long-term PQC roadmap with today’s production requirements.
AWS FIPS 140-3: From Upstream Validation to Your Own Certificate
AWS maintains FIPS validations for specific AWS-LC implementations. Using an upstream validated implementation does not give your organization a certificate in its own name. Your deployment must also align with the configuration and operating environments covered by the applicable validation.
Why Obtain Your Own AWS-LC FIPS Certificate?
For software vendors selling into the public sector and regulated industries, owning your own certificate delivers:
- Clear Validation Ownership: A CMVP listing associated with yourorganization and cryptographic software.
- Clear Procurement Documentation: A formal certificate your salesand compliance teams can reference to support customer securityreviews.
- A Managed Maintenance Path: Software and certificate lifecycleplanning aligned with your product roadmap.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is AWS-LC a drop-in replacement for OpenSSL?
AWS-LC targets OpenSSL 1.1.1 API compatibility but is not binary compatible with OpenSSL. Applications must be rebuilt and tested, and code changes may be necessary depending on your integration.
Which operating environments are supported?
Software support and FIPS validation coverage depend on the selected release, build configuration, and operating environment. Share your target operating systems, processor architectures, and deployment requirements with SafeLogic to confirm support and applicable validation coverage.
How long does AWS-LC FIPS 140-3 certification take?
RapidCert provides a path to customer-owned certification in about 90 days, depending on validation scope and NIST CMVP processing. SafeLogic can confirm the expected timeline for your deployment.
