BSAFE Crypto-J is composed of multiple internal modules, one of them is the Java Cryptographic Module (JCM).
Only the JCM is submitted for FIPS 140 validation, which explains why Crypto-J 6.2.6, as an example, includes BSAFE® Crypto-J JSAFE and JCE Software Module version 6.2.5
The table below refers to the FIPS 140 module version having been validated.
