NIST FIPS 203 ML-KEM approved status and whether hybrid groups X25519MLKEM768, SecP256r1MLKEM768, and SecP384r1MLKEM1024 are FIPS-approved or merely implementation-specific groups

💡 Result:

NIST FIPS 203, which specifies the Module-Lattice-Based Key-Encapsulation Mechanism (ML-KEM), is an official, approved Federal Information Processing Standard that became effective on August 14, 2024 [1][2][3]. Regarding the hybrid groups X25519MLKEM768, SecP256r1MLKEM768, and SecP384r1MLKEM1024, these are not themselves "FIPS-approved" as standalone entities in the sense of being specified within a FIPS standard [4][5]. Instead, they are hybrid mechanisms defined in RFC 10024 that combine FIPS-approved elliptic curve algorithms with ML-KEM [4][5]. These hybrid groups are implementation-specific constructions designed to permit FIPS-compliant key derivation as per NIST SP 800-56C and NIST SP 800-135 [4][5]. The regulatory status of these groups depends on the underlying components [4][5]: 1. FIPS-compliance requirements: NIST SP 800-56Cr2 allows for the use of HMAC-based Key Derivation Functions (HKDF) with multiple shared secrets, provided that the first shared secret is generated by a FIPS-approved key-establishment scheme [4][5]. 2. Implementation dependencies: Because FIPS 140-3 certification requires the cryptographic schemes used to be certified, the certification requirement shifts based on the order of the shared secrets in the hybrid construction [4][5]. - For SecP256r1MLKEM768 and SecP384r1MLKEM1024, the ECDHE shared secret is placed first; therefore, the ECDHE implementation must be FIPS-certified, while the ML-KEM implementation does not require it [4][5]. - For X25519MLKEM768, the ML-KEM shared secret is placed first; consequently, the ML-KEM implementation must be FIPS-certified [4][5]. In summary, these hybrid groups allow organizations to maintain FIPS compliance in their key establishment processes by strategically ordering components to ensure that the required FIPS-approved algorithms meet the necessary certification criteria [4][5].

site:rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9954 OR site:rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc10024 X25519MLKEM768 SecP256r1MLKEM768 FIPS mode TLS supported groups

💡 Result:

  • RFC 9954 defines the generic TLS 1.3 hybrid-key-exchange framework. Hybrid combinations are negotiated as individual NamedGroup values in TLS supported_groups. [1]
  • RFC 10024 defines:
    • X25519MLKEM768 — code point 4588 / 0x11EC, Recommended: Y
    • SecP256r1MLKEM768 — code point 4587 / 0x11EB, Recommended: N
    • SecP384r1MLKEM1024 — code point 4589 / 0x11ED, Recommended: N [2]
  • For FIPS-mode TLS, RFC 10024 identifies SecP256r1MLKEM768 as the practical choice when both components must use FIPS-approved mechanisms. Its ECDHE component must be implemented by a certified implementation; the ML-KEM component need not itself be certified under the described construction. [2]
  • X25519MLKEM768 may also be implemented in a FIPS-approved manner, but RFC 10024 notes that the ML-KEM implementation must be certified, because ML-KEM is the first shared secret in the combiner. [2]

Bottom line: In FIPS mode, prefer SecP256r1MLKEM768 if your TLS/provider implementation supports it and has the required certification. X25519MLKEM768 is the broadly practical default outside that constraint.

Correct the FIPS guidance for TLS NamedGroup values.

FIPS 203 approves ML-KEM. RFC 10024 defines the hybrid groups and makes FIPS-mode availability dependent on the provider and validated construction; SecP256r1MLKEM768 is not categorically excluded. Replace the blanket wording in the three source comments with implementation-scoped wording, then run make update-codegen-crds to regenerate all listed CRDs.
