Certificate details

Certificate ID #4475
Status historical
Historical reason Moved to historical list due to sunsetting
Validation dates 14.04.2023
Standard FIPS 140-2
Security level 2
Type Hardware
Embodiment Multi-Chip Stand Alone
Caveat When installed, initialized and configured as specified in Section 5 of the Security Policy
Exceptions
  • Cryptographic Module Specification: Level 3
  • Roles, Services, and Authentication: Level 3
  • Design Assurance: Level 3
  • Mitigation of Other Attacks: N/A
Description Complete security is built directly into each module’s silicon. Creating security directly in silicon avoids the use of vulnerable software and/or Operating Systems. The core of the hardware-enabled solution is AES-256 encryption and a novel symmetric key distribution that can provide a unique random key for each packet. QNS devices are placed in-line and nearby the endpoints to be secured. No external key management is necessary. Once deployed, the QNS devices never need to be upgraded or patched.
Version (Hardware) 100211

Automated analysis

Automated inference - use with caution

All attributes shown in this section (e.g., links between certificates, products, vendors, and known CVEs) are generated by automated heuristics and have not been reviewed by humans. These methods can produce false positives or false negatives and should not be treated as definitive without independent verification. This applies equally to the Cross-references section below. If you want to know more about how this data is computed and how reliable it is, see our documentation on automated analysis. If you believe any information here is inaccurate or harmful, please submit feedback.

No automatically derived data are available in this section.
