IOS Common Cryptographic Module (IC2M)

Certificate

Module description

The IC2M module provides the FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms for services requiring those algorithms. The module does not implement any protocols directly; Instead, it provides the cryptographic primitives and functions to allow IOS to implement those various protocols.

Security level exceptions

• Non-invasive security: N/A
• Mitigation of other attacks: N/A
