Cisco FIPS Object Module

Cisco Systems, Inc. - FIPS 140 #2100

historicalLevel 1

The Cisco FIPS Object Module (FOM) is a software library that provides cryptographic services to a vast array of Cisco's networking and collaboration products. The module provides FIPS 140 validated cryptographic algorithms for services such as IPSEC, SRTP, SSH, TLS, 802.1x, etc. The module does not directly implement any of these protocols, instead it provides the cryptographic primitives and functions to allow a developer to implement the various protocols.

Key facts

CVEs that may affect this product

sec-certs has not matched any CVE to this certificate. That is not proof the product is unaffected.

Related CVEs and certificate references are automated matches by sec-certs, not reviewed by humans: treat them as "may be affected" and verify before acting.
