- ^ The actual cryptlib is not FIPS 140 validated, although a validation exists for an adapted cryptlib as part of a third party, proprietary, commercial product.
- ^ Crypto++ received three FIPS 140 validations from 2003 through 2008. In 2016 NIST moved Crypto++ to the Historical Validation List. The move effectively revokes the FIPS validation and federal agencies cannot use the module for validated cryptography.
- ^ a b RSA BSAFE source code license was available to purchase when RSA Security was selling BSAFE.
- ^ wolfCrypt has complete RTCA DO-178C level A certification. In addition, any of the FIPS 140-2 validated crypto algorithms can be used in DO-178 mode for combined FIPS 140-2/DO-178 consumption.
