Module Name
Hewlett Packard Enterprise NSS Crypto Module
Historical Reason
SP 800-56Arev3 transition
Caveat
When operated in FIPS mode. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy. This validation entry is a non-security relevant modification to Cert. #3616
Security Level Exceptions
- Roles, Services, and Authentication: Level 2
- Physical Security: N/A
- Design Assurance: Level 3
Embodiment
Multi-Chip Stand Alone
