1 Introduction 1.1 Purpose This document is the non-proprietary Cryptographic Module Security Policy for the Cisco 7606S and 7609-S Routers with Supervisor SUP720-3B. This security policy describes how the Cisco 7606-S and 7609-S Routers with Supervisor SUP720-3B (Hardware Version: Chassis: 7606-S and 7609-S with SUP720-3B; Firmware Version: 15.1(2)S) meet the security requirements of FIPS 140-2, and how to operate the router with on-board crypto enabled in a secure FIPS 140-2 mode. This policy was prepared as part of the Level 2 FIPS 140-2 validation of the Cisco 7606-S and 7609-S Routers with Supervisor SUP720-3B. FIPS 140-2 (Federal Information Processing Standards Publication 140-2 - Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules) details the U.S. Government requirements for cryptographic modules. More information about the FIPS 140-2 standard and validation program is available on the NIST website at http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/index.html. 1.2 Module Validation Level The following table lists the level of validation for each area in the FIPS PUB 140-2. No. Area Title 1 Cryptographic Module Specification 2 Cryptographic Module Ports and Interfaces 3 Roles, Services, and Authentication 4 Finite State Model 5 Physical Security 6 Operational Environment 7 Cryptographic Key management 8 Electromagnetic Interface/Electromagnetic Compatibility 9 Self-Tests 10 Design Assurance 11 Mitigation of Other Attacks Overall module validation level Level 2 2 3 2 2 N/A 2 2 2 2 N/A 2 Table 1 Module Validation Level 1.3 References This document deals only with operations and capabilities of the Cisco 7606-S and 7609-S Routers with Supervisor SUP720-3B in the technical terms of a FIPS 140-2 cryptographic module security policy.
