Cradlepoint Kernel Cryptographic Module

Certificate

Module description

The Ericsson Kernel Cryptographic Module is a software module running as part of Ericsson’s NetCloud OS kernel. It provides FIPS-Approved symmetric encryption and decryption, hashing, message authentication, and key establishment services to consuming applications via an Application Programming Interface (API).

Security level exceptions

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

Approved algorithms

Allowed algorithms

AES (Cert. A3232), AES (Cert. A4944) (SSP establishment methodology provides between 128 and 256 bits of encryption strength.; Key unwrapping (using any approved mode));Triple-DES (Cert. A3232) (SSP establishment methodology provides 168 bits of encryption strength.; Key unwrapping (using any Approved mode with two-key or three-key))

Tested configurations

• NetCloud OS 7 running on a Cradlepoint E3000 with an ARM Cortex-A (ARMv8-A)
