Module Name
TippingPoint Intrusion Prevention System
Historical Reason
Moved to historical list due to sunsetting
Caveat
When operated in FIPS mode. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy
Security Level Exceptions
- Roles, Services, and Authentication: Level 3
- Design Assurance: Level 2
- Mitigation of Other Attacks: N/A
Embodiment
Multi-chip standalone
Description
Inserted transparently into the network, the HP TippingPoint Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) is an in-line security device that performs high-performance, deep packet inspection to protect customer networks from attack. The IPS blocks malicious and unwanted traffic, while allowing good traffic to pass unimpeded. In fact, the IPS optimizes the performance of good traffic by continually cleansing the network and prioritizing applications that are mission critical.
Other Algorithms
Blowfish; DES; Diffie-Hellman (key agreement; key establishment methodology provides 112 bits of encryption strength); HMAC-MD5; MD5; NDRNG; RC2; RC4; RSA (key wrapping; key establishment methodology provides 112 bits of encryption strength).
Hardware Versions
S660N and S1400N
