Crypto Module for Intel® Alder Point PCH Converged Security and Manageability Engine (CSME)

Intel Corporation - FIPS 140 #5365

activeLevel 2

The Cryptographic Module for Intel® Converged Security and Manageability Engine(CSME) is a firmware-hybrid module. The module consists of both hardware and firmware. The hardware portion is the Converged Security Engine (CSE) and the firmware portion is the crypto driver process of the Manageability Engine (ME). The two portions form the cryptographic boundary and they combine as Converged Security and Manageability Engine (CSME) to perform cryptographic functions within the Alder Point PCH applications executing on the CSME OS.

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

CAVP algorithm certificates (30)

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.
