Cisco Systems 7206VXR NPE-400 manual CSP Name Description Storage

Cryptographic Key Management

The module supports the following critical security parameters (CSPs):

			Table 2	Critical Security Parameters
#				CSP Name	Description	Storage
1				CSP 1	This is the seed key for X9.31 PRNG. This	DRAM
					key is stored in DRAM and updated	(plaintext)
					periodically after the generation of 400
					bytes; hence, it is zeroized periodically.
					Also, the operator can turn off the router to
					zeroize this key.
2				CSP2	The private exponent used in Diffie-Hellman	DRAM
					(DH) exchange. Zeroized after DH shared	(plaintext)
					secret has been generated.
3				CSP3	The shared secret within IKE exchange.	DRAM
					Zeroized when IKE session is terminated.	(plaintext)
4				CSP4	Same as above	DRAM
						(plaintext)
5				CSP5	Same as above	DRAM
						(plaintext)
6				CSP6	Same as above	DRAM
						(plaintext)
7				CSP7	The IKE session encrypt key. The	DRAM
					zeroization is the same as above.	(plaintext)
8				CSP8	The IKE session authentication key. The	DRAM
					zeroization is the same as above.	(plaintext)
9				CSP9	The RSA private key. “crypto key zeroize”	NVRAM
					command zeroizes this key.	(plaintext)
10				CSP10	The key used to generate IKE skeyid during	NVRAM
					preshared-key authentication. The no crypto	(plaintext)
					isakmp key command zeroizes it. This key
					can have two forms based on whether the key
					is related to the hostname or the IP address.
11				CSP11	This key generates keys 3, 4, 5 and 6. This	DRAM
					key is zeroized after generating those keys.	(plaintext)
12				CSP12	The RSA public key used to validate	DRAM
					signatures within IKE. These keys are	(plaintext)
					expired either when CRL (certificate
					revocation list) expires or 5 secs after if no
					CRL exists. After above expiration happens
					and before a new public key structure is
					created this key is deleted. This key does not
					need to be zeroized because it is a public key;
					however, it is zeroized as mentioned here.
13				CSP13	The fixed key used in Cisco vendor ID	NVRAM
					generation. This key is embedded in the	(plaintext)
					module binary image and can be deleted by
					erasing the Flash.
