Cryptographic Module Validation Program CMVP

Certificate #5356

Details

Module Name
IOS Common Cryptographic Module (IC2M)
Standard
FIPS 140-3
Status
Active
Sunset Date
8/6/2029
Overall Level
1
Caveat
When operated in approved mode. No assurance of the minimum strength of generated SSPs (e.g., keys). No assurance of minimum security of SSPs (e.g., keys, bit strings) that are externally loaded, or of SSPs established with externally loaded SSPs
Security Level Exceptions
  • Non-invasive security: N/A
  • Mitigation of other attacks: N/A
Module Type
Firmware
Embodiment
MultiChipStand
Description
The IC2M module provides the FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms for services requiring those algorithms. The module does not implement any protocols directly; Instead, it provides the cryptographic primitives and functions to allow IOS to implement those various protocols.
