Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The Sun StorageTek™ T10000B tape drive provides 1 TB native capacity and 120 MB/sec throughput using the same media and with backward read compatibility to the T10000A. Designed for maximum security and performance, the T10000B provides AES-256 encryption to protect and authenticate customer data and to provide secure, authenticated transmission of key material. Designed for maximum performance, the drive allows the use of multiple keys per tape with a cache memory to minimize the overhead of key transmission. Works seamlessly with the Sun KMA 2.x to provide a secure end-to-end management solution.
Approved algorithms (5)
Other algorithms
AES (Cert. #941, key wrapping; key establishment methodology provides 256 bits of encryption strength); RSA (key wrapping; key establishment methodology provides 112 bits of encryption strength); MD5
