wolfSSL secures the world’s first SP800-140Br1 compliant FIPS 140-3 Validation Certificate

Published

wolfSSL Inc., a globally renowned leader in cryptography and network security solutions, is thrilled to announce the world’s first SP800 140Br1 compliant FIPS 140-3 Validation Certificate #4718 for wolfSSL’s wolfCrypt module.

EDMONDS, Wash., July 16, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — wolfSSL, INC., has partnered with AEGISOLVE, INC., on this unprecedented automated pilot program. Aegisolve is accredited by the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP Lab Code: 200802-0) for Cryptographic and Security Testing to assess and validate cryptographic based security systems and telecommunications infrastructure.

wolfSSL’s wolfCrypt module is the world’s first SP800 140Br1 compliant FIPS 140-3 Validation Certificate #4718

“As we move forward, wolfSSL remains focused on enhancing our technologies and expanding our capabilities. We are dedicated to continuous innovation in security. The advancements in our FIPS 140-3 module highlight our commitment to delivering state-of-the-art cryptographic solutions that meet the rigorous demands of today’s cybersecurity landscape.” Stated wolfSSL’s CTO, Todd Ouska. “Our collaboration with AEGISOLVE is just the beginning of a new era in cryptographic security, paving the way for future innovations and industry standards.”

“As a first of its kind, this is a tremendous achievement and a huge step forward for the next generation of FIPS 140-3 Validated Cryptographic Modules.” Reported Travis Spann, Founder and President of AEGISOLVE (NVLAP Lab Code: 200802-0). “AEGISOLVE is proud to have collaborated with the high-caliber wolfSSL team in the NIST SP800-140Br1 Pilot Project to achieve this groundbreaking milestone and we are eager to assist others to achieve the same goal.”

FIPS 140-3 validation testing is a rigorous and extensive process including detailed source code reviews, design reviews, documentation reviews, finite state machine verifications, CVE threat analysis, error injection, port sniffing, configuration management verifications, operational testing and test evidence auditing to the applicable requirements of the FIPS 140-3 Derived Test Requirements and FIPS 140-3 Implementation Guidance.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) under the Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP) issues the 140 Publication Series to coordinate the requirements and standards for cryptographic modules for use by departments and agencies of the United States federal government.

Highlights: Under wolfCrypt FIPS 140-2, power on times in standard and embedded targets could be slower due to power on self test requirements of the module. With the wolfCrypt FIPS 140-3 module self-tests are now only required the first time an algorithm is used or when the application decides is an ideal time to run the test during a slower event cycle and ahead of first algorithm use. This means much faster boot times and optimal power and resource consumption with careful planning!**

Differences between wolfCrypt FIPS 140-2 and wolfCrypt FIPS 140-3:

– 3DES removed from the module, 3DES no longer available

+ CAST (conditional algo self tests)

+ KDF-TLS, TLS v1.2 KDF and TLSv1.3 KDF

+ SSH KDF

+ AES-OFB mode

+ RSA 3072, 4096 and PSS

+ New Degraded mode of operation, which means that in the event of a CAST failure other algorithm services will remain available.

The flagship event, under this year’s theme of ‘Evolve’, will convene leading policymakers, central bankers, institutional asset managers and technology leaders.

ABU DHABI, UAE, Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Binance, the leading global financial platform powered by blockchain, today announced the first wave of speaker line-up for the Binance Blockchain Week (BBW) Bangkok 2026. The flagship event returns to Asia on November 28-29, 2026, at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center, marking a strategic homecoming as traditional finance and digital assets converge across the region’s rapidly expanding markets.

Under this year’s theme, Evolve, the program reflects an inflection point in digital finance: traditional and digital markets are converging on shared infrastructure, AI is reshaping how people access information and manage capital, and governments, institutions and builders are increasingly collaborating on the clear, trusted frameworks for sustainable industry growth. Payments, tokenized stocks, real-world assets, and digital assets are merging into one connected system, while the barriers to entry for people around the world continue to fall.

The event will bring leading pan-regional policymakers together, including Gizzat Baitursynov, Vice Minister, Ministry of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Development of the Republic of Kazakhstan, and Shaun Tan, Head of Crypto and Fintech Growth, Gelephu Mindfulness City (GMC), Bhutan. Their presence reflects a defining shift, as regulators and builders increasingly work side by side to set clear guardrails.

Speaking on today’s announcement, Richard Teng, Co-CEO of Binance, said, “Regulatory innovation is no longer confined to traditional financial centers. Increasingly, emerging jurisdictions are shaping the future of digital finance. The regulatory frameworks and financial infrastructure countries build today will determine where capital flows, where companies choose to grow, and which markets lead tomorrow. We’re grateful to convene this critical dialogue in Bangkok.”

The program brings together recognized leaders across finance, technology, and digital assets, including Arthur Hayes, CIO of Maelstrom, who invented the perpetual swap, now one of the most widely traded products in crypto; Sushant Singh, APAC Expansion, Tether; Matthew Roszak, Chairman, Bloq; and CZ (Changpeng Zhao), founder, Giggle Academy and Binance.

As traditional finance and digital assets converge, the lineup follows the money on-chain.
