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 networks or 10G Ethernet networks. It employs federally endorsed AES and Triple-DES algorithms and, with the flexibility to choose the desired interface module, can be deployed in a SONET OC-192 network or 10G Ethernet network.
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 then 112 bits of encryption); Diffie-Hellman (non-compliant); NDRNG
