Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The foundation of Blue Coat's application delivery infrastructure, Blue Coat ProxySG appliances establish points of control that accelerate and secure business applications for users across the distributed organization. Blue Coat appliances serve as an Internet proxy and wide area network (WAN) optimizer. The purpose of the appliances is to provide a layer of security between an Internal and External Network (typically an office network and the Internet) and to provide acceleration and compression of transmitted data. ProxySG 900 is one of several appliance lines offered by Blue Coat
Approved algorithms (6)
Other algorithms
RSA (key wrapping; key establishment methodology provides 112 bits of encryption strength; non-compliant less than 112 bits of encryption strength)
