Entropy Validation: An Entropy Source Validation (ESV) is currently at the CMVP for an in-house, high-performance software jitter TRNG and the Jan 1, 2026 Transition!

In addition to the above, here is a roadmap of how 2026 will go for Kernel Modules, ESV certificates, Post Quantum Algorithms and more!

Module v5.2.3

ARMv8 PAA optimizations available for validation (must be paired with a pure software similar or identical OE to be approved per IG directives) Subtle quality of life enhancements for our day-to-day users Ported to multiple additional operational environments 58x OE’s tested from day1 7x more OE additions in process CAVP LINK Submitted to the CMVP on 26 Nov 2025

Module v5.2.4

Supports running in both user and kernel space 12x OEs in process CAVP testing is in process CMVP submission pending

Module v6.0.0

Adds AES-XTS (256, 512), SRTP-KDF, AES-CFB (1, 8, 128), AES-KW (128, 192, 256), PBKDF2, ED25519, ED448, SHAKE (128, 256) RSA, ECC upgraded from 186-4 to 186-5 New Streaming modes of operation for AES algorithms ARMv8 PAA from day1 9x OEs from day1 CAVP LINK Submitted to the CMVP on 12 Sep 2025

Module v7.0.0

FIPS 203, 204 and 205 SLH-DSA, ML-DSA, ML-KEM LMS-verify, XMSS-verify CNSA 2.0 compliant

SHA512 DRBG SHA512/224 & SHA512/256 support SHA512 integrity check

OE slots available if you get in touch with us soon. (Window is closing, IUT listing is up, reach out soon!

ESV v6.0.0m

Written from the ground up to be optimized and portable! CAVP LINK Submitted to the CMVP on 5 Dec 2025
