Sunset date 15-01-2030
Standard FIPS 140-3
Security level 1
Type Software
Embodiment MultiChipStand
Caveat When operated in approved mode. When installed, initialized and configured as specified in Section 11.1 of the Security Policy. The module generates SSPs (e.g., keys) whose strengths are modified by available entropy. 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
  • Physical security: N/A
  • Non-invasive security: N/A
Description Dell BSAFE™ Crypto Module for C software library is designed for developers to incorporate FIPS 140-3 approved cryptography into C-based products. BSAFE™ Crypto Module security software helps protect sensitive data as it is stored, using strong encryption techniques that ease integration with existing data models. Using the capabilities of BSAFE™ Crypto Module software in applications helps provide a persistent level of protection for data, lessening the risk of internal, as well as external, compromise.

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.
