Module Name
NSM Application Cryptographic Module
Historical Reason
RNG SP800-131A Revision 1 Transition
Caveat
When operated in FIPS mode. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy.
Security Level Exceptions
- Physical Security: N/A
- EMI/EMC: Level 3
- Design Assurance: Level 3
- Mitigation of Other Attacks: N/A
Embodiment
Multi-chip standalone
Description
McAfee Network Security Manager (NSM) is a simple, centralized management software for distributed McAfee Network Security Platform intrusion prevention system (IPS) sensors. The NSM console with its intuitive graphical interface gives administrators complete control and real-time data, so that they can manage, configure, administer, and monitor all IPS appliances across widely distributed, mission-critical deployments. The NSM Application Crypto Module provides cryptographic services for the Network Security Manager application.
Tested Configuration(s)
- Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 running on a GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P
Other Algorithms
RSA (key wrapping; non-compliant); MD5; HMAC-MD5; NDRNG
