Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
ZyFLEX Crypto Module ZCM-100 is a hardware multichip embedded module that targets high speed data link layer (OSI layer 2) secure data transmission applications in an IP-based network. ZCM-100 implements AES-256 encryption/decryption algorithms and other Approved security functions by using both hardware FPGA circuitry and a 32-bit microcontroller. Its miniaturized size and low power consumption features make ZCM-100 suitably fit in a portable wireless communication device such as a handheld radio.
Approved algorithms (6)
Other algorithms
Diffie-Hellman (key agreement; key establishment methodology provides 112 bits of encryption strength); NDRNG
