Are you referring to a "FIPS 140-2 Level 3" validation?:

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIPS_140-2#Level_3

The OpenSSL FIPS Object Module v.20 validations are Level 1, as is the
case with all software-only validations. The higher level validations
are much more closely tied to specific hardware devices.
