- Caveat
- When operated in FIPS mode and when obtained, installed and initialized as assumed by the Crypto Officer role and specified in Section 9.1 of the provided Security Policy. The Security Policy specifies the precise RPM file containing this module. The integrity of the RPM is automatically verified during the installation and the Crypto officer shall not install the module if the RPM tool indicates an integrity error. Any deviation from the specified verification, installation and initialization procedures will result in a non FIPS 140-2 compliant module. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy
