Status historical
Historical reason RNG SP800-131A Revision 1 Transition
Validation dates 20.06.2014
Standard FIPS 140-2
Security level 1
Type Software
Embodiment Multi-Chip Stand Alone
Caveat When installed, initialized and configured as specified in the Security Policy Section 3 and operated in FIPS mode with VMware NSS Cryptographic Module validated to FIPS 140-2 under Cert. #2155 operating in FIPS mode. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy. No assurance of the minimum strength of generated keys
