IBM System Storage TS1140 and TS1150 Tapes Drives – Machine Type 3592, Models E07 and E08
IBM System Storage TS1140 and TS1150 Tapes Drives – Machine Type 3592, Models E07 and E08, from IBM® Corporation, holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #2201 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

Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The TS1140 / 3592 E07 and TS1150/3592 E08 Tape Drives provides full line speed, fully validated, hardware implemented, AES 256-bit encryption and compression of customer data recorded to tape. It ensures data confidentiality in the event of a lost tape while also supporting additional cryptographic functions for authentication and secure transfer of key material.
