Samsung NVMe TCG Opal SSC SEDs PM1733 Series
Samsung NVMe TCG Opal SSC SEDs PM1733 Series, from Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #3755 at overall level 2. 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 installed, initialized and configured as specified in the Security Rules Section of the Security Policy. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy
