Ultralock Symmetric Module

Certificate #741

Webpage information ?

Status	historical
Historical reason	Moved to historical list due to sunsetting
Validation dates	01.03.2007
Standard	FIPS 140-2
Security level	1
Type	Hardware
Embodiment	Multi-Chip Embedded
Caveat	When operated in FIPS mode and using the nForce Ultra Asymmetric Module validated to FIPS 140-2 under Cert. #740 and nCipher MiniHSM validated to FIPS 140-2 under Cert. #672 when operated in FIPS mode and initialized to Overall Level 2 per Security Policy
Exceptions	EMI/EMC: Level 3 Design Assurance: Level 3
Description	The Ultralock Symmetric Module performs all the cryptography required for SSL/TLS applications. This module is a common element of the Britestream BN2010 SSL Security ASIC, the industry's first single-chip solution for completely off-loading SSL/TLS processing from host systems. The innovative in-line architecture combines TCP.
Version (Hardware)	010-00007 a.00
Vendor	nCipher Corporation Ltd.
References	This certificate's webpage directly references 2 certificates, transitively this expands into 2 certificates.
