1.4 Roles and Services

The modules support two authorized roles (as required by FIPS 140-2) that operators may assume: a Crypto Officer role and User role.

1.4.1Crypto-Officer Role

The Crypto-Officer (CO) installs and uninstalls the cryptographic module. Also, the CO is responsible for monitoring and configuring the modules and call settings.

The Crypto-Officer can manage the VSX modules over a Transport Layer Security (TLS) v1 session through a web interface. Through this interface, the Crypto-Officer is able to configure the device and setup a call, change secure mode of operation, monitor current status and perform virtually all of the management of the module. Configuration of the modules and viewing of status can be performed with a Command Line Interface (CLI) over the local serial port or remotely via Telnet over TLS. All the management and configuration capabilities are available via the VSX’s web interface are also available via secure telnet over TLS. The telnet interface includes additional debug commands that are not available over the web. The Crypto-Officer has access to the following services:
