    I understand that SuSE linux qualified for use by secure (not classified)
    US contractors, but am looking for details and citable references.

    I found SuSE's German certification is available at
            http://www.suse.com/de/security/certification/index.html
    With some uncertainty, I understand the above is applicable throughout the EU.

    I suspect FIPS-140 is the US equivalent.
    Is this correct?
    What are the relevant federal documents?
    How is compliance validated?

    Any help appreciated,
