Android cryptography library FIPS validation

I want to know, is the android's cryptography library (javax.crypto) "validated to FIPS 140-2"?

I need for a specific product which FIPS is important.

Solution

  • No, javax.crypto is not FIPS-validated, you'll need another lib for that.

    However, it is impossible to reach level 2 with libraries alone, as it has requirements
    on the hardware too (and a typical Android device is not validated either).
