### AI overview

Chainguard announces the Chainguard FIPS Provider for OpenSSL 3.4.0, validated under CMVP certificate #5132. Beginning March 17, 2026, Chainguard FIPS container images will upgrade to it. The article explains that owning the validated cryptographic module lets Chainguard remediate vulnerabilities within the validated boundary and manage the required resubmission process without depending on third parties.

### Source excerpt

Chainguard is the first and only to FIPS-validate OpenSSL 3.4, owning the validated cryptographic module that powers our FIPS images.

### AI overview

Chainguard announces Kernel-Independent FIPS availability across its Java FIPS image catalog. The update uses FIPS-validated cryptography and validated userspace entropy, allowing Java FIPS workloads to run with any host kernel and on platforms including GKE with COS, Amazon Bottlerocket, Flatcar Linux, and Azure Linux. It is intended to simplify production deployment and accelerate FedRAMP authorization to operate.

### Source excerpt

Kernel-Independent FIPS is now available across the full catalog of Chainguard FIPS images for Java, simplifying and accelerating compliance for FedRAMP ATO.

### AI overview

Chainguard FIPS Images can run on any Linux kernel by replacing the kernel entropy source with a userspace entropy source. This enables FIPS workloads on current kernels, hardware, instance types, developer machines, CI/CD deployments, and non-FIPS managed cloud offerings while supporting runtimes such as NodeJS, Python, Go, PHP, .NET, and C/C++.

### Source excerpt

Chainguard's FIPS Images are available for deployment on any Linux kernel, thanks to some new innovation by our engineering team. Learn what this means.
