IOS Common Cryptographic Module (IC2M)
Cisco Systems, Inc. - FIPS 140 #4222
The IC2M module provides the FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms for services requiring those algorithms. The module does not implement any protocols directly. Instead, it provides the cryptographic primitives and functions to allow IOS to implement those various protocols.
