Caveat
When operated in FIPS mode and when obtained, installed, and initialized as assumed by the Crypto Officer role and specified in Section 9 of the provided Security Policy. This module contains the embedded Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2 OpenSSL Cryptographic Module validated to FIPS 140-2 under Cert. #1758 operating in FIPS mode and the Network Security Services (NSS) Cryptographic Module validated to FIPS 140-2 under Cert. #1837 operating in FIPS mode. Section 1 of the provided Security Policy specifies the precise RPM files containing this module. The integrity of the RPMs are verified during the installation and the Crypto officer shall not install the RPM files 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
