NSM Application Cryptographic Module
McAfee, Inc. - FIPS 140 #2172
McAfee Network Security Manager (NSM) is a simple, centralized management software for distributed McAfee Network Security Platform intrusion prevention system (IPS) sensors. The NSM console with its intuitive graphical interface gives administrators complete control and real-time data, so that they can manage, configure, administer, and monitor all IPS appliances across widely distributed, mission-critical deployments. The NSM Application Crypto Module provides cryptographic services for the Network Security Manager application.
