Certificate #4475

Webpage information ?

Status	active
Validation dates	14.04.2023
Sunset date	21-09-2026
Standard	FIPS 140-2
Security level	2
Type	Hardware
Embodiment	Multi-Chip Stand Alone
Caveat	When installed, initialized and configured as specified in Section 5 of the Security Policy
Exceptions	Cryptographic Module Specification: Level 3 Roles, Services, and Authentication: Level 3 Design Assurance: Level 3 Mitigation of Other Attacks: N/A
Description	Complete security is built directly into each module’s silicon. Creating security directly in silicon avoids the use of vulnerable software and/or Operating Systems. The core of the hardware-enabled solution is AES-256 encryption and a novel symmetric key distribution that can provide a unique random key for each packet. QNS devices are placed in-line and nearby the endpoints to be secured. No external key management is necessary. Once deployed, the QNS devices never need to be upgraded or patched.
Version (Hardware)	100211
