Waveserver Ai Encryption Module
Ciena Corporation - FIPS 140 #5449
The Waveserver Ai Encryption Module provides fully secure cryptographic functionality, including peer authentication, key derivation, datapath encryption, physical security, and identification and authentication of the module’s Crypto Officer (CO). It is the physical security boundary and is composed of FPGA, processor, DDR4 (DRAM), Flash and the PCB-embedded wire connections between them, and all associated physical security mechanisms. All traffic entering and exiting the module is encrypted/decrypted at wire speed (100Gb/s, 200Gb/s, 300Gb/s and 400Gb/s depending on line modulation scheme selected) using AES-256 GCM mode.
