Description The PrismPlus Cryptographic Module is a hardware Module intended for use by US Federal agencies or other markets that require a FIPS 140-3 validated network encryption device. The Module implemented on a PCIe Adapter is intended to be used in Fibre Channel based Storage Area Networks. The Module allows a Connection to be established between one of the multiple Host Initiator Entities (eg 256 Virtual Machine Drivers running on multiple CPU cores) on a Storage Server Appliance and one of the multiple Remote Host Target Entities (eg 1000s of Storage LUNs) on multiple Storage Device Appliances via one of the multiple Physical Ports (eg 4x 64GFC ports). The Connection facilitates transfer of data between a Host Initiator Entity on a Storage Server Appliance and Host Target Entity on a Storage Server Appliance using the FC (Fibre Channel) Protocol. The Module allows multiple (1000s) of connections between Host Initiator Entities on a Storage Server Appliance and Host Target Entities on Storage Device Appliances. The module can be used to support Data-in-Flight Encryption/Decryption between Storage Appliances in a FC-SAN environment. Encryption decisions are made on a connection basis, whereby only a subset of the connections could be enabled for Encryption. If a connection is enabled for Encryption, only a subset of the Frame Types (eg Data Frames only, not Command/Status/Control/etc. Frames) could be enabled for Encryption.

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.
