AWS Nitro Card Security Engine SSMAE

Certificate details

Certificate ID #5310
Status active
Validation dates 04.06.2026 , 29.06.2026
Sunset date 03-06-2031
Standard FIPS 140-3
Security level 1
Type Firmware-Hybrid
Embodiment SingleChip
Caveat When operated in approved mode. No assurance of minimum security of SSPs (e.g., keys, bit strings) that are externally loaded, or of SSPs established with externally loaded SSPs.
Exceptions
  • Non-invasive security: N/A
  • Mitigation of other attacks: N/A
Description The Cryptographic Module (CM) is a single-chip firmware-hybrid module. The cryptographic services provided by the module are: Data encryption / decryption utilizing symmetric ciphers, i.e. AES algorithms and computation of hash values, i.e., SHA2 and SHA3.
Vendor Amazon Web Services

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.
