Ixia Cryptographic Module for Network Visibility

FIPS 140-2 certificate #3311 · Ixia, a Keysight Business · data as of 2026-10-09

Ixia Cryptographic Module for Network Visibility, from Ixia, a Keysight Business, holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #3311 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.

Historical. SP 800-56Arev3 transition. Federal agencies may reference historical validations for existing systems only, not for new procurement.
Caveat: When operated in FIPS mode. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy. No assurance of the minimum strength of generated keys. This validation entry is a non-security relevant modification to Cert. #3152.
