NITROXIII CNN35XX-NFBE HSM Family, from Marvell Semiconductor Inc., holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #3718 at overall level 3. 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 - replaced by certificate #4399. 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

Module description

Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.

CNN35XX-NFBE HSM Family is a high performance purpose built solution for key management and crypto acceleration compliance to FIPS 140-2 level 3. The module supports flexible key store that can be partitioned up to 32 individually managed and isolated partitions. This is a SRIOV capable PCIe adapter and can be used in a virtualization environment to extend services like virtual key management, offloading general and TLS specific crypto operations through dedicated I/O channels. This product is suitable for PKI users, vendors, TLS servers/load balancers.
