Historical Reason
SP 800-56Arev3 transition
Caveat
When installed, initialized and configured as specified in Section 12.1 of the Security Policy and operated in FIPS mode. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy
Security Level Exceptions
- Physical Security: N/A
- Mitigation of Other Attacks: N/A
Embodiment
Multi-Chip Stand Alone
