FIPS 140-2 certification
FIPS regulates cryptography and the use of cryptographic libraries. The cryptographic library is the .dll that stores encryption algorithms, and cryptographic libraries, not the applications that use them, can be FIPS 140-2 certified. Starting with release 8.0.1, the cryptographic library provided with Notes and Domino on the 32-bit Microsoft Windows platform is FIPS 140-2 certified (IBM Crypto for C v1.4.5 Certificate # 775).
For more information, see the Web page "Validated FIPS 140-1 and FIPS 140-2 Cryptographic Modules."
Although the cryptographic libraries on Notes and Domino 8.0.1 on platforms other than 32-bit Windows are not FIPS 140-2 certified, those libraries nevertheless include the FIPS 140-2 approved AES algorithm.
