Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
Cisco Modular Access Routers are routers that provide data protection on a network providing packet encryption. The module performs all of the functions typical of a router. In addition to the normal routing functions, the module also provides packet encryption. The module is capable of encrypting traffic between one or more modules: providing a secure connection at the packet level.
Approved algorithms (6)
Other algorithms
MD4; MD5; HMAC MD5; Diffie-Hellman (key agreement; key establishment methodology provides 80 or 96 bits of encryption strength; non-compliant); DES; AES (non-compliant); Triple-DES (non-compliant); HMAC (non-compliant); GDOI (key wrapping, key establishment methodology provides 128 or 256 bits of encryption strength)
