DragonWave® Secure Cryptographic Module
DragonWave Inc. - FIPS 140 #2170
The DragonWave® Secure Cryptographic Module is a hybrid cryptographic module consisting of firmware and hardware. The hardware portion of the module provides AES for bulk data encryption between two Horizon Compact+ or Horizon Quantum peer devices in a radio link, while the firmware provides cryptographic state management as well as secure peer-to-peer management communications over a protected TLS tunnel.
