VMware NSS Cryptographic Module

Certificate #2155

Webpage information ?

Status	historical
Historical reason	Moved to historical list due to sunsetting
Validation dates	14.05.2014
Standard	FIPS 140-2
Security level	1
Type	Software
Embodiment	Multi-Chip Stand Alone
Caveat	When installed, initialized and configured as specified in the Security Policy Section 3 and operated in FIPS mode. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy. No assurance of the minimum strength of generated keys.
Exceptions	Physical Security: N/A Mitigation of Other Attacks: N/A
Description	The VMware NSS Cryptographic Module is a software cryptographic library that provides FIPS 140-2 validated network security services to VMware products.
Tested configurations	VMware vCloud Networking and Security 5.5.0a Edge OS on VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi) 5.5 running on HP ProLiant DL380e Gen8 Server with PAA VMware vCloud Networking and Security 5.5.0a Edge OS on VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi) 5.5 running on HP ProLiant DL380e Gen8 Server without PAA (single-user mode)
Vendor	VMware, Inc.
References	This certificate's webpage directly references 0 certificates, transitively this expands into 0 certificates.
