VMware NSS Cryptographic Module

Certificate details

Certificate ID #2155
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.

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.
