Covia Connector Cryptographic Module
Covia Connector Cryptographic Module, from Covia Labs, Inc., holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #2004 at overall level 1. The validation is historical: agencies may keep the module in existing systems but not buy it new. Below are its validation history, algorithm certificates and security policy, drawn from the NIST CMVP entry.
Caveat: When operated in FIPS mode. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy. No assurance of the minimum strength of generated keys

Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The Covia Connector Cryptographic Module provides cryptographic services for the Covia Connector. These services include but are not limited to pseudo-random number generation, symmetric and asymmetic key generation, data encryption and decryption, key wrapping, and key unwrapping.
Approved algorithms (6)
Other algorithms
AES (Cert. #1896, key wrapping; key establishment methodology provides 128 or 256 bits of encryption strength); KBKDF (non-compliant)
Tested configurations
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.8 running on an Acer AX1430-UR12P (single-user mode)
