Spectro Cloud Cryptographic Module
Spectro Cloud Cryptographic Module, from Spectro Cloud, Inc., holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #4349 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 installed, initialized and configured as specified in Section 12.1 of the Security Policy and operated in FIPS mode. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy.
