Algorithm families of the CAVP certificates listed for this module, plus post-quantum algorithms named in its documents.
CAVP algorithm certificates (8)
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
- NGIPSv 6.2 on Vmware ESXi 5.5 running on Cisco C220 M4
