Secure Generic Sub-System (SGSS), Version 3.5 [1] and 3.6 [2]
Thales e-Security Inc. - FIPS 140 #1794
The Secure Generic Sub-System (SGSS) is a multi-chip embedded module used to provide secure cryptographic resources to a number of products in the Thales e-Security portfolio. This includes the Datacryptor® 2000, Datacryptor® Advanced Performance and Small Form Factor family (Link, Frame Relay, E1/T1, E3/T3, and IP models). The SGSS contains a secure bootstrap and authenticates application loading using the Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) and SHA-384 hashing. This is a revalidation of the SGSS certified under FIPS Certificate #836, and does not affect the previous FIPS validation.
