Module Name
Cisco FIPS Object Module
Historical Reason
SP 800-56Arev3 transition
Caveat
When installed, initialized and configured as specified in the Security Policy Section 4.2 and operated in FIPS mode. 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 Stand Alone
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.
