Description The Waveserver Ai Encryption Module provides fully secure cryptographic functionality, including peer authentication, key derivation, datapath encryption, physical security, and identification and authentication of the module’s Crypto Officer (CO). It is the physical security boundary and is composed of FPGA, processor, DDR4 (DRAM), Flash and the PCB-embedded wire connections between them, and all associated physical security mechanisms. All traffic entering and exiting the module is encrypted/decrypted at wire speed (100Gb/s, 200Gb/s, 300Gb/s and 400Gb/s depending on line modulation scheme selected) using AES-256 GCM mode.

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.
