Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The SafeNet Encryptor provides data privacy and access control for connections between vulnerable public and private SONET/SDH networks or 10G Ethernet networks. It employs federally endorsed AES and Triple-DES algorithms and, with the flexibility to choose the desired interface module, can be deployed in a SONET OC-192 network or 10G Ethernet network.
Approved algorithms (6)
Other algorithms
Diffie-Hellman (key agreement; key establishment methodology provides 80 bits of encryption strength; non-compliant); RSA (key wrapping; key establishment methodology provides 80 bits of encryption strength; non-compliant)
