Secure Generic Sub-System (SGSS), Version 3.2
Thales e-Security Inc. - FIPS 140 #570
The Secure Generic Sub-System (SGSS) is a multi-chip embedded module used to provide secure cryptographic resources to a number of products in the Thales e-Security portfolio. This includes the Datacryptor 2000 family, WebSentry family, HSM 8000 family, P3CM family, PaySentry, 3D Security Module and SafeSign Crypto Module. The SGSS contains a secure bootstrap and authenticates application loading using the Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) and the RSA algorithm.

Algorithm families of the CAVP certificates listed for this module, plus post-quantum algorithms named in its documents.
CAVP algorithm certificates (2)
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.
