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
