Each approved algorithm in a FIPS 140-3 module needs its own NIST CAVP certificate. Older numeric certificates link to their NIST page; ACVP certificates (A1234) can be looked up in the CAVP validation search.
Tested environments
- McAfee SecureOS v8.3 on VMware ESXi 5.0 running on a McAfee S7032 (single-user mode)
Operational environments the module was tested on, as listed by NIST CMVP.
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.
