Palo Alto Networks Core Crypto Module
Caveat: When installed, initialized and configured as specified in Section 11.1 of the Security Policy. The module generates SSPs (e.g., keys) whose strengths are modified by available entropy. No assurance of minimum security of SSPs (e.g., keys, bit strings) that are externally loaded, or of SSPs established with externally loaded SSPs
