Table 1 Intended Level of Security Section Section Title Level 1 Cryptographic Module Specification 2 2 Cryptographic Module Ports and Interfaces 2 3 Roles, Services, and Authentication 2 4 Finite State Model 2 5 Physical Security 2 6 Operational Environment N/A 7 Cryptographic Key Management 2 8 EMI/EMC 2 9 Self-tests 2 10 Design Assurance 2 11 Mitigation of Other Attacks 2 Physical Security The Aruba Mobility Controller is a scalable, multi-processor standalone network device and is enclosed in a robust steel housing. The switch enclosure is resistant to probing and is opaque within the visible spectrum. The enclosure of the switch has been designed to satisfy FIPS 140-2 Level 2 physical security requirements. To protect the Aruba 620 and 650 Mobility Controllers from any tampering with the product, TELs should be applied by the Crypto Officer as covered under "Tamper-Evident Labels" on page 30. Operational Environment The operational environment is non-modifiable. The control plane Operating System (OS) is Linux, a realtime, multi-threaded operating system that supports memory protection between processes.
