ESPRIT/COMHUB FPGA

Certificate details

Certificate ID #5250
Status active
Validation dates 28.04.2026
Sunset date 27-04-2031
Standard FIPS 140-3
Security level 1
Type Hardware
Embodiment MultiChipEmbed
Caveat - No assurance of minimum security of SSPs (e.g., keys, bit strings) that are externally loaded, or of SSPs established with externally loaded SSPs
Exceptions
  • Non-invasive security: N/A
  • Mitigation of other attacks: N/A
Description The ESPRIT/COMHUB FPGA is an equipment responsible of the communication between the Lunar Gateway and equipment on the lunar ground. It integrates an FPGA which implements the cryptographic functions and a MRAM that stores the CSP.

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.
