Webpage information

Status historical
Historical reason RNG SP800-131A Revision 1 Transition
Validation dates 15.12.2008 , 28.08.2009 , 28.01.2010
Standard FIPS 140-2
Security level 3
Type Hardware
Embodiment Multi-Chip Embedded
Caveat When operated in FIPS mode
Description The nCipher modules: nShield F3 6000e, Shield F3 1500e, nShield F3 500e, and nShield 10e family of secure e-commerce HSM's are multi-tasking hardware modules that is optimized for performing modular arithmetic on very large integers. The nCipher modules are FIPS 140-2 level 3 embedded devices. The units are identical in operation and only vary in the processing speed.
