1.4.3Authentication

The modules were not tested for role-based or identity-based authentication requirement as level 1 modules. However, the modules authenticate Crypto-Officer with x.509 certificate during TLS handshake. The users do not authenticate themselves to the module.

1.5 Physical Security

The VSX 3000, VSX 5000, and VSX 7000s are multi-chip standalone cryptographic modules. The modules’ hardware is composed of production-grade components and the modules are entirely enclosed in solid metal cases. These cases enclose all of the modules’ internal components and serve as the cryptographic boundaries for the modules.

The VSX systems were tested and found conformant to the Electromagnetic Interference/Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMI/EMC) requirements specified by 47 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 15, Subpart B, Unintentional Radiators, Digital Devices, Class A (i.e., for business use).

1.6 Operational Environment

The operational environment requirements do not apply to the VSX 3000, VSX 5000, and VSX 7000s. The modules do not provide a general purpose Operating System (OS) and only allow the updating of image components after checking a Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) signature on new software images.

1.7 Cryptographic Key Management

The VSX modules implement the following FIPS-approved algorithms:

∙AES (CBC, OFB) - key sizes 128, 192, 256 (Cert #431)

∙FIPS 186-2 Appendix 3.1 PRNG (Cert #224)

∙Secure Hashing Algorithm (SHA-1) – Byte oriented (Cert #50 1)

∙TDES (CBC) 1, 2, 3 keying options (Cert #460)

∙DSA (verify) 1024 bits (Cert #178)

Additionally, the module utilizes the following non-FIPS-approved algorithm implementation:

∙Diffie-Hellman (key agreement, key establishment methodology provides 80-bits of encryption strength)

∙RSA (key wrapping, key establishment methodology provides 80-bits of encryption strength)

∙Hardware Random Number Generator (RNG) – for seeding the FI PS-approved deterministic RNG

The module supports the following critical security parameters:
