1. Overview
This document is a non-proprietary FIPS 140-2 Security Policy for Infoblox’s Trinzic Virtual Appliances
running the Network Identity Operating System (NIOS). This policy describes how these virtual Infoblox
Trinzic DDI, Network Insight, and Trinzic Reporting Appliances (hereafter referred to as the “module”)
meet the requirements of FIPS 140-2. This document also describes how to configure the module into the
FIPS 140-2 Approved mode. This document was prepared as part of a FIPS 140-2 overall Security Level
1 validation for a multi-chip standalone software module.
The Federal Information Processing Standards Publication 140-2 - Security Requirements for
Cryptographic Modules (FIPS 140-2) details the United States Federal Government requirements for
cryptographic modules. Detailed information about the FIPS 140-2 standard and validation program is
available on the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) website at
https://csrc.nist.gov/projects/cryptographic-module-validation-program.

2. Introduction
Infoblox Trinzic virtual appliances are available in a variety of options to match an organization’s specific
requirements. They integrate with a broad array of automation and orchestration platforms and are simple
to deploy through flexible licensing.
The virtual appliance is delivered as an Open Virtual Appliance (OVA) which runs the NIOS firmware
binary and is hosted on a hypervisor. The module can be configured as a Trinzic DDI, Network Insight, or
Infoblox Reporting virtual appliance based on the OVA and license applied during deployment. This also
configures the module’s virtual resources allocated by the hypervisor. Trinzic DDI and Infoblox Reporting
virtual appliances are delivered as “*-ddi.ova” files. Network Insight virtual appliances are delivered as *-
discovery.ova” files.
The Trinzic DDI virtual network appliances that provide core network services, including DNS (Domain
Name System), DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), IPAM (IP Address Management), and NTP
(Network Time Protocol). A Trinzic DDI appliance can be set up as a Grid member or a Grid Master. The
appliance can operate with a second appliance of the same model in high availability (HA) mode. You
configure and manage the Trinzic appliances through the Infoblox Grid Manager.
The Network Insight virtual network appliance supports device discovery and network discovery features,
using SNMP and other protocols to discover, query, manage and catalogue network devices such as
enterprise Ethernet switches, routers, firewalls and other security devices, VoIP softswitches, load
balancers, end host devices and more. You configure the Network Insight appliance through Infoblox Grid
Manager. For more information about the Discovery features, refer to the Infoblox NIOS Administrator
Guide.
The Infoblox Reporting virtual network appliance collects data from Infoblox Grid members, stores the
data in the reporting database, and generates reports that provide statistical information about IPAM,
DNS, DHCP, and system activities and performance. You configure and manage the Infoblox Reporting
appliance and view its reports through the Infoblox Grid Manager. For more information about Reporting
features and licensing, refer to the Infoblox NIOS Administrator Guide.

The CMVP allows user porting of a validated software cryptographic module to an operational
environment which was not included as part of the validation testing. The user may affirm that the module
works correctly in the new operational environment as long as the porting rules are followed. The porting
rules are described in Section 7 of this document. The CMVP makes no statement as to the correct
operation of the module or the security strengths of the generated keys when ported to an operational
environment which is not listed on the validation certificate.

3.4. Secure Initialization
The following steps should be followed to initialize the module into the FIPS Approved mode of operation:
● The module’s host must be run on a production grade platform (e.g. commercially made server or
general purpose computer).
● The module must be running NIOS version 8.5.2 with Hotfix-NIOS_8.5.2_409296_J81082-
506fbabaabd86fbe9c99de0b49c9a7f8-Mon-Oct-25-08-19-32-2021.
● FIPS mode must be enabled in the NIOS CLI via command ‘set fips_mode’.
● The password policy must be set such that the Minimum Password Length is at least 6
characters. This can be accomplished via the procedures outlined in the Infoblox NIOS
Administrator Guide, section “Managing Passwords”
● The BloxTools feature must not be enabled when operating in the FIPS Approved mode.
● The Support Access feature must not be enabled when operating in the FIPS Approved mode.
● RADIUS Authentication must not be used in the FIPS Approved mode.
Infoblox Trinzic Virtual Appliances | FIPS 140-2 Non-Proprietary Security Policy

● TACACS+ Authentication must not be used in the FIPS Approved mode.
● Cisco ISE Integration must not be used in the FIPS Approved mode.
● Microsoft Server Integration must not be used in the FIPS Approved mode.
● SNMPv1/v2 must not be used in the FIPS Approved mode.
● The module must not be connected to a NIOS grid in the FIPS Approved mode.
● The HTTPS protocol must be used for the vDiscovery service.
● Keys/CSPs generated in FIPS mode cannot be used in non-FIPS mode and vice-versa.
Failure to follow the above procedures will result in the module operating in a non-approved mode.

5.3. Authentication
The module has the following methods of role based authentication:
● Local password-based authentication
● Remote password-based authentication (Active Directory, LDAPS)
● Remote SAML-based authentication
● Certificate authentication
● Two-Factor authentication
Local password-based authentication, Remote password-based authentication
Assuming that the Secure Initialization routine is followed, Infoblox enforces a 6 character minimum
password, using a 72 character set of a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and “!@#%^&*()”. This results in a bare minimum of
139,314,069,504 (72^6) possible passwords. Thus the FIPS 140-2 requirement that for a single random
password attempt the probability of success must be less than 1 in 1,000,000 is satisfied.
FIPS 140-2 requires that in a 1-minute span, the probability of guessing the password correct (at random)
must be less than 1 in 100,000.
The web interface only allows 5 unsuccessful login attempts per minute. This calculates to a 1 in
27,862,813,900.8 ((72^6)/5) chance of a successful password attempt in a minute, which is less than the
1 in 100,000 requirement.
The SSH interface implements a maximum of 3 tries per login attempt with each failed attempt adding an
incremented delay of 5 seconds. 3 failed attempts will take 30 seconds (5 + 10 + 15), therefore, in 1
minute only 6 attempts can be made. This calculates to a 1 in 23,219,011,584 ((72^6)/6) chance of a
successful password attempt in a minute, which is less than the 1 in 100,000 requirement.
The console interface implements a delay of three seconds per invalid login attempt. As such, a
maximum of 20 invalid login attempts are possible per minute. This calculates to a 1 in 6965703475.2
((72^6)/20) chance of a successful password attempt in a minute, which is less than the 1 in 100,000
requirement.
For remote password-authentication the module defers password verification to a trusted authenticator
(Active Directory, or LDAPS). This connection is protected by TLS.
Certificate authentication/Two-Factor authentication (Password + X.509 certificate authentication)
If Certificate authentication or Two-Factor authentication is used, the calculations are based on the
security-strength of the algorithm of the X.509 certificate. For example, if the X.509 certificate is RSA-
2048 w/ SHA-256, then the security-strength is 112 bits (based on SP 800-57). Based on this, a 1 in
2^112 chance is much less than 1 in 1,000,000 per single attempt. With the worst case assumption that
the network interface can support up to 29,296,875 ((1,000,000,000 bps / 2048 bits) * 60 seconds)
connection attempts per minute. The chance of a successful authentication attempt in a minute calculates
to a (2^112)/29,296,875, which satisfies the 1 in 100,000 requirement.
Infoblox Two-Factor authentication provides option 'Username/password request'. If you select this option
NIOS populates the username from the certificate and requests password from the user. If you do not
select this option, only the certificate is necessary to log in to the appliance.
Infoblox Trinzic Virtual Appliances | FIPS 140-2 Non-Proprietary Security Policy
26
NIOS performs lookup against local users by default. You can enable remote lookup for user membership
(Active Directory or LDAPS). A password must not be empty.
Certificates are validated by an OCSP responder.
Remote SAML-based authentication
NIOS uses SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) 2.0 authentication support for Single-Sign-On in
NIOS. SAML provides a standard vendor-independent grammar and protocol for transferring information
about a user from one web server to another independent of the server DNS domains. NIOS as a Service
Provider uses SAML to defer authentication of users to a trusted authenticator called an Identity Provider
(IDP). The IDP provides NIOS with a public-key signed authentication assertion. Refer to the certificate
authentication strength justification above.

6. Physical Security
The module is a software module for which FIPS 140-2 Physical Security requirements do not apply.
7. Operational Environment
The module is a multi-chip standalone software module operating within a modifiable hypervisor
environment. The hypervisor constitutes the single operator of the virtual appliance.
Porting Rules:
Per FIPS 140-2 Implementation Guidance G.5, a software cryptographic module will remain compliant
with the FIPS 140-2 validation when operating on any general purpose computer (GPC) or platform
provided that the GPC for the software module uses the specified single user operating system/mode
specified on the validation certificate, or another compatible single user operating system.
The CMVP makes no statement as to the correct operation of the module or the security strengths of the
generated keys when ported and executed in an operational environment not listed on the validation
certificate.

6 The module’s entropy source, ENT (NP), provides an estimated 57.729 bits of entropy per 64-bit output.
DRBG Cert. #A2503 requests 2400-bits of output from the ENT (NP). Therefore, DRBG Cert. #A2503 is
seeded with at least 2164 bits of entropy and fully seeded.
7 DRBG Cert. #A2507 requests 256-bits of entropy output from DRBG Cert. #A2503, which is considered
a vetted conditioner providing full entropy per FIPS 140-2 IG 7.19.
