nShield SCSI Ultrasignand nShield SCSICryptographic Accelerators

Certificate #129

Webpage information ?

Status	historical
Historical reason	Validation Sunsetting Policy - FIPS 140-1 Certificate
Validation dates	20.12.2000 , 14.09.2001 , 09.03.2006 , 15.03.2006
Standard	FIPS 140-1
Security level	3
Type	Hardware
Embodiment	Multi-Chip Stand Alone
Caveat	When operated in FIPS mode
Exceptions	Roles and Services: Level 3* Self Tests: Level 3* Key Management: Level 3* *(Level 3 is met in these areas when the "FIPS_level3" flag is set during initialization.)
Description	The nCipher nShield range of tamper resistent Hardware Security Modules improves the security of cryptographic keys and increases server throughput for digital signature and encryption applications. Supporting many commercial public key infrastructure (PKI) products such as certificate authorities and on-line validation servers, the nShield family of HSMs is also used for building custom security applications requiring secure and flexible key management.
