Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
Code Corporation’s CodeXML® FIPS Bluetooth® Modem, when used in conjunction with the Code Reader 2500 FIPS or Code Reader 3500 FIPS bar code readers, provides an encrypted wireless bar code reading solution with a working range of up to 300 feet. The CodeXML® FIPS Bluetooth® Modem employs a FIPS approved AES-256 algorithm with per session keys to ensure that the connection between modem and bar code reader is highly secure. The FIPS code has been optimized to provide line speed communications over the wireless link.
