IOS Common Cryptographic Module (IC2M)

Cisco Systems, Inc. - FIPS 140 #5356

activeLevel 1

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.

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.
