128 Technology Cryptographic Module
128 Technology Cryptographic Module, from 128 Technology, holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #2961 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. This validation entry is a non-security relevant modification to Cert. #2038.

Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The 128T Networking Platform is a software-based, distributed routing and network services solution. The 128T Networking Platform uses Secure Vector Routing to simplify network architectures and provide fine-grained, end-to-end control and visibility. 128T runs on general-purpose computer and allows a wide range of deployment models - from remote branch offices to high-capacity network edges to hyper-scale data centers. The platform enables greater security and agility by distributing intelligence throughout the network - without disrupting your existing network infrastructure. The 128 Tech
