IOS Common Cryptographic Module (IC2M)
Cisco Systems, Inc. - FIPS 140 #4752
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.
