nShield F2 6000e, nShield F2 1500e, nShield F2 500e and nShield F2 10e

Certificate #2641

Webpage information

Status historical
Historical reason SP 800-131A transition which disallows key wrapping not compliant to SP 800-38F.
Validation dates 13.05.2016 , 29.01.2020
Standard FIPS 140-2
Security level 2
Type Hardware
Embodiment Multi-Chip Embedded
Caveat When operated in FIPS mode and initialized to Overall Level 2 per Security Policy. The protocol TLS shall not be used when operated in FIPS mode
Exceptions
  • Roles, Services, and Authentication: Level 3
  • Physical Security: Level 3
  • EMI/EMC: Level 3
  • Design Assurance: Level 3
  • Mitigation of Other Attacks: N/A
Description The nShield modules: nShield F2 10e, nShield F2 500e, nShield F2 1500e, nShield F2 6000e are tamper evident and tamper responsive Hardware Security Modules which provide support for the widest range of cryptographic algorithms, application programming interfaces (APIs) and host operating systems, enabling the devices to be used with virtually any business application. The units are identical in operation and only vary in the processing speed.
