Secure Your BoringCrypto Applications with FIPS 140 Validated Cryptography from SafeLogic

Google’s BoringCrypto is widely used across high-security systems, cloud-native platforms, and modern, large-scale applications. But getting a FIPS 140-3 certificate in your own name from NIST if you use BoringCrypto from Google is a complex challenge that can take two or more years without the right partner.

Since it includes SafeLogic’s RapidCert and MaintainCert capabilities, CryptoComply BoringCrypto users can get a FIPS 140-3 certificate in their own name in 3-4 months, subject to NIST CMVP timelines. Then SafeLogic keeps your certificate active until it reaches its sunset date. SafeLogic provides cryptography, validation, and lifecycle maintenance, so you can stay compliant, secure, and ready for procurement.

Why BoringCrypto for FIPS-Certified Encryption?

BoringCrypto is extracted from Google's hardened BoringSSL library and is engineered for modern, cloud-native architectures.

Organizations choose BoringCrypto because it offers:

  • Proven security in large scale production systems: Used across Google’s infrastructure, Chrome, Android components, Envoy Proxy, QUIC/HTTP3, gRPC, and Kubernetes networking stacks.
  • High performance optimized for modern CPUs: BoringCrypto takes advantage of SIMD instructions and hardware acceleration, enabling security at extreme throughput.
  • Cloud-native compatibility: Designed for microservices, Kubernetes, and distributed platforms that demand low latency and consistent behavior across OSes and distributions.
  • Modern TLS implementations: BoringCrypto tracks next-generation TLS requirements and best practices, ensuring robust encrypted communication at scale.

What is CryptoComply BoringCrypto?

While Google BoringCrypto has a FIPS 140-3 certificate, Google does not offer rebranding.

As a result, Google BoringCrypto developers must either follow the 2+ year process of getting their own certificate in their own name or hope that following a risky ‘FIPS certified’ strategy will not result in blocked federal procurements.

CryptoComply BoringCrypto packages Google’s BoringCrypto with SafeLogics’s RapidCert and MaintainCert services. As with all other CryptoComply products, CryptoComply BoringCrypto customers will get a FIPS 140-3 certificate in their company's name from NIST is just 3-4 months, subject to NIST CMVP timelines.

Furthermore, SafeLogic will ensure that the certificate remains in active status with NIST until it reaches its sunset date. In addition, CryptoComply BoringCrypto customers receive enterprise support as part of SafeLogic’s MaintainCert offering.

FIPS 140-3 Validation for BoringCrypto Applications

FIPS 140 is the U.S. government's benchmark standard for cryptograpic modules, foundational to federal frameworks such as FedRAMP, CMMC, and Common Criteria. 

Any BoringCrypto vendor developing security software for federal or regulated use must leverage FIPS compliant algorithms validated by NIST’s Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP).

FIPS Compliance vs. Validation

Many people assume these are synonyms. With FIPS, they are not. In fact, there is a huge difference between them.

FIPS 140-Validated means your company's cryptography module has passed a formal testing process with a NIST-approved lab and NIST’s CMVP program. You receive a certificate in your name from NIST verifying your module has been validated.

Some claim that using another company’s certified module constitutes 'FIPS compliant’ (which is called by some 'FIPS inside'). But compliance is not always good enough. Compliant today may also not be compliant tomorrow if someone else’s module goes out of compliance (e.g., goes historical). Historical certificates cannot be used for new government acquisitions.

Also, government procurement agents may block acquisition of products that do not have FIPS certification in their own name listed in NIST's validated modules database.

Why BoringCrypto 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 BoringCrypto gives you a direct path to your own certificate, without the complexity and delays of a traditional multi-year validation timeline. SafeLogic handles the lifecycle, so you stay secure, validated, and ready for government opportunities.
