Arista EOS Crypto Module v1.0

FIPS 140-2 certificate #2909 · Arista Networks, Inc. · data as of 2026-08-28
Historical. Moved to historical list due to sunsetting. Federal agencies may reference historical validations for existing systems only, not for new procurement.
Caveat: When operated in FIPS mode. No assurance of the minimum strength of generated keys. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy
