Browse Use Cases:
Explore common “FIPS-required” scenarios SafeLogic supports. Each use case includes getting started steps, verification commands, and audit-ready provenance.
Apache FIPS
TLS termination · Build + verify · Artifacts + provenance
NGINX FIPS
Reverse proxy · Build + verify · Artifacts + provenance
Node.js FIPS
Runtime · Quickstart + verify · Artifacts + provenance
Rust FIPS
Build + verify · OpenSSL-based crates · Artifacts + provenance.
Wireguard-go FIPS
VPN (userspace) · Patch + build · Interop change
How it Works
A repeatable workflow across stacks:
- Adopt a validated cryptographic software foundation
- Constrain configurations to approved algorithms and policies (program-dependent)
- Verify using deterministic commands/logs (and capture build provenance
- Prove with validation artifacts + configuration guidance for audits
What You Get:
Build + Verify Steps
Copy/paste getting started and verification commands per use case.
Repeatable Delivery
Integrate artifacts into CI/CD and internal repositories.
Evidence Bundle
Validation artifacts, build provenance, and configuration guidance.

FAQs
It means the use case is designed to run with validated cryptographic implementations and includes an evidence trail auditors can verify (validation artifacts, build provenance, and configuration guidance).
No—TLS is a protocol. FIPS 140 validation applies to the cryptographic implementation used underneath TLS. The TLS 1.3 use case explains how teams standardize on validated cryptographic software and produce the required evidence.
Most do, but some changes can affect compatibility depending on the implementation and required algorithm constraints. The WireGuard-go use case calls out peer compatibility impacts explicitly.
Pick the workload that matches where you terminate encryption (VPN, proxy, runtime, TLS library, or IPsec/IKE). If you’re unsure, request a technical walkthrough and we’ll map your environment and compliance needs.
Both emphasize encryption backed by FIPS 140-validated cryptographic requirements wherever encryption is used. The right path depends on your specific authorization package and operational environment.
