ASI-HSM AHX5 kNET Cryptographic Module

Kryptus - FIPS 140 #5282

activeLevel 3Post-quantum: ML-DSA, ML-KEM

The ASI-HSM AHX5 kNET Cryptographic Module is a Hardware Security Module that provides cryptographic services with native implementation of the Key Management Interoperability Protocol to applications. The hardware is optimized for cryptographic operations along with proprietary firmware and software developed exclusively for the module. Its operators communicate with it via a standard Ethernet interface using IP protocols. The module is usually sold embedded within a stand-alone network appliance, which is typically used in large-scale cloud infrastructures, where ease of remote configuration and operation is required.

Algorithm families of the CAVP certificates listed for this module, plus post-quantum algorithms named in its documents.

CAVP algorithm certificates (48)

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.

CVEs that may affect this product

sec-certs has not matched any CVE to this certificate. That is not proof the product is unaffected.

Related CVEs and certificate references are automated matches by sec-certs, not reviewed by humans: treat them as "may be affected" and verify before acting.
