Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The CypherNET™ 3000 Series product is a high-speed, standards based, multi-protocol encryptor specifically designed to secure voice, data and video information transmitted over Synchronous Optical/Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SONET/SDH) and Ethernet Networks at data rates up to 10 Gigabits per sec. Data privacy is provided by FIPS approved AES and Triple-DES algorithms.
Approved algorithms (7)
Other algorithms
RSA (key wrapping; key establishment methodology provides 112 bits of encryption strength; non-compliant less than 112 bits of encryption strength); Diffie-Hellman (key agreement; key establishment methodology provides 112 bits of encryption strength; non-compliant less than 112 bits of encryption strength)
