Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The iKey 4000 is a powerful and portable two-factor authentication USB device suited for applications demanding high security. The iKey 4000 offers wide range of authentication services together with the highest levels of security. It offers powerful implementations for public and secret key encryption supporting RSA, Diffie-Hellman, SHA-1, Triple-DES, and AES.
Approved algorithms (5)
Other algorithms
Diffie-Hellman (key agreement; key establishment methodology provides 112 bits of encryption strength; non-compliant less than 112 bits of encryption strength); RSA (key wrapping; key establishment methodology provides 112 bits of encryption strength; non-compliant less than 112 bits of encryption strength); DSA (non-compliant)
