Module Name
Cisco FIPS Object Module
Historical Reason
Moved to historical list due to sunsetting
Caveat
When installed, initialized and configured as specified in the Security Policy Section 3.2 and operated in FIPS mode. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy. No assurance of the minimum strength of generated keys
Security Level Exceptions
- Physical Security: N/A
- Design Assurance: Level 3
- Mitigation of Other Attacks: N/A
Embodiment
Multi-chip standalone
Description
The Cisco FIPS Object Module (FOM) is a software library that provides cryptographic services to a vast array of Cisco's networking and collaboration products. The module provides FIPS 140 validated cryptographic algorithms for services such as IPSEC, SRTP, SSH, TLS, 802.1x, etc. The module does not directly implement any of these protocols, instead it provides the cryptographic primitives and functions to allow a developer to implement the various protocols.

Other Algorithms
Diffie-Hellman (key agreement; key establishment methodology provides between 112 and 219 bits of encryption strength; non-compliant less then 112 bits of encryption strength); EC Diffie-Hellman (key agreement; key establishment methodology provides between 112 and 256 bits of encryption strength; non-compliant less then 112 bits of encryption strength); RSA (key wrapping; key establishment methodology provides between 112 and 150 bits of encryption strength; non-compliant less then 112 bits of encryption strength)
