nCipher 4000 PCI, nShield 800 PCI, and nShield Plus PCI

Certificate #536

Webpage information

Status historical
Historical reason RNG SP800-131A Revision 1 Transition
Validation dates 10.05.2005 , 09.03.2006 , 15.03.2006
Standard FIPS 140-2
Security level 3
Type Hardware
Embodiment Multi-Chip Embedded
Caveat When initialized to Overall Level 3 per Security Policy - Only operates in FIPS mode at Level 3
Description The nCipher modules: nCipher 4000 PCI, nShield 800 PCI, and nShield Plus PCI family of secure e-commerce HSM's are multi-tasking hardware module that is optimized for performing modular arithmetic on very large integers. The nCipher modules are FIPS 140-2 level 3 embedded devices. The units are identical in operation and only vary in the processing speed.
