NIST’s position on this is very clear (source): Non-validated cryptography is viewed as providing no protection to the information or data — in effect the data would be considered unprotected plaintext. If the agency specifies that the information or data be cryptographically protected, then FIPS 140-2 or FIPS 140-3 is applicable. In essence, if cryptography is required, then it must be validated.
