Description
The PESA Crypto Module is a general-purpose cryptographic module that provides FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic primitives to secure sensitive information in PESA’s video distribution system.
Tested Configuration(s)
- PESA OS v1.0 running on PESA Secura with ARM Cortex-A9 with PAA
- PESA OS v1.0 running on PESA Secura with ARM Cortex-A9 without PAA (single user mode)
Allowed Algorithms
RSA (key agreement; key establishment methodology provides between 112 and 256 bits of encryption strength)
