Cryptek Common Security Module (CSM)
Cryptek, Inc. - FIPS 140 #523
The CSM is a secure network product designed to enforce three distinct information flow policies: Mandatory Access Control (MAC), Discretionary access Control (DAC), and Packet filtering. The design can support multiple security domains on a single network infrastructure by combining cryptography and labeling technology. The Cryptek CSM hardware and firmware constitute the core technology used in the DiamondLink, DiamondVPN, DiamondPAK, DiamondSAT, DiamondUTC, CL100, CL150, CL100-F, CP102, CP104, CP106, CV100, CS101, CS102, and CT100.
