Module Name
Nutanix Cryptographic Module for OpenSSL
Historical Reason
SP 800-56Arev3 transition
Caveat
When installed, initialized and configured as specified in Section 3 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
- Design Assurance: Level 3
- Mitigation of Other Attacks: N/A
Embodiment
Multi-Chip Stand Alone
