Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The SafeNet Encryptor provides data privacy and access control for connections between vulnerable public and private SONET/SDH or Ethernet networks. It employs FIPS approved AES and Triple-DES algorithms and, with the flexibility to choose the desired interface module, can be deployed in SONET 155 MB (OC-3), 622 MB (OC-12), 1.0 GB, and 2.4 GB (OC-48) networks or 200MB and 1GB Ethernet networks.
Security level exceptions
- Mitigation of Other Attacks: N/A
Approved algorithms (7)
Other algorithms
RSA (key wrapping; key establishment methodology provides 112 bits of encryption strength; non-compliant less than 112 bits of encryption strength); Diffie-Hellman (non-compliant); NDRNG
