Certificate details

Certificate ID #3356
Status historical
Historical reason Moved to historical list due to dependency on certificate #2839
Validation dates 02.02.2019
Standard FIPS 140-2
Security level 1
Type Software
Embodiment Multi-Chip Stand Alone
Caveat When operated in FIPS mode with module VMware OpenSSL FIPS Object Module validated to FIPS 140-2 under Cert. #2839 operating in FIPS mode
Exceptions
  • Physical Security: N/A
  • Mitigation of Other Attacks: N/A
Description Powering IPsec encryption and integrity in NSX Edge and NSX Controller is the VMware's Linux Cryptographic Module. The Tunnel mode of the Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) protocol performed by an IPsec Service kernel stack, such as NETKEY, utilizes the VMware's Linux Cryptographic Module to encrypt, decrypt, and perform integrity checks on data entering and exiting the NSX Edge virtual appliance.

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.
