CN Series Encryptors

Certificate details

Certificate ID #5432
Status active
Validation dates 21.07.2026
Sunset date 05-11-2029
Standard FIPS 140-3
Security level 3
Type Hardware
Embodiment MultiChipStand
Caveat When installed, initialized and configured as specified in Section 11 of the Security Policy
Exceptions
  • Operational environment: N/A
  • Non-invasive security: N/A
Description The CN4010, CN4020, CN6010, CN6100, CN6110, CN6140, CN9100 and CN9120 are high-speed hardware encryption platforms that secure data over twisted-pair and optical Ethernet networks. The modules support line rates from 10Mb/s to 100Gb/s. All models except CN4010 are equipped with pluggable transceivers to support a variety of optical network interfaces. Data privacy is provided by FIPS approved AES algorithms in CFB, CTR and GCM modes. Additional transmission security is provided via TRANSEC (Traffic Flow Security) which can be used to remove patterns in network traffic and prevent traffic analysis attacks.

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.
