Dell BSAFE™ Crypto Module for C
Dell BSAFE™ Crypto Module for C, from Dell Australia Pty Limited, BSAFE Product Team, holds FIPS 140-3 certificate #5512 at overall level 1. The validation is active, with a sunset date of 2030-02-18. Below are its validation history, algorithm certificates and security policy, drawn from the NIST CMVP entry.
Caveat: When operated in approved mode. When installed, initialized and configured as specified in Section 11.1 of the Security Policy. The module generates SSPs (e.g., keys) and random strings 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
