AWS Scalable Network Crypto Modules, version 1.1

Certificate details

Certificate ID #5332
Status active
Validation dates 16.06.2026
Sunset date 15-06-2031
Standard FIPS 140-3
Security level 1
Type Software-Hybrid
Embodiment MultiChipStand
Caveat When operated with module AWS-LC Cryptographic Module (dynamic build) validated to FIPS 140-3 under Cert. #5146 operating in approved mode. 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 MACsec and DWDM link encryption is used by AWS networking infrastructure to secure traffic across its core network consisting of long-distance and large-scale data communications across the globe. Traffic flowing across the AWS global network is protected by strong cryptography and meets regulatory requirements.
Vendor Amazon Web Services, Inc.

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.
