FIPS Cryptography

Federal information processing standard (FIPS) cryptography provides cryptographic algorithms conforming to various FIPS standards published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), a non-regulatory agency of the US Department of Commerce. FIPS mode is also validated for numerous platforms to meet the FIPS-140-2 standard for a software-based cryptographic module.

This chapter describes how to enable FIPS cryptography requirements on Dell EMC Networking platforms.

NOTE The Dell EMC Networking OS uses an embedded FIPS 140-2-validated cryptography module (Certificate #1747) running on NetBSD 5.1 per FIPS 140-2 Implementation Guidance section G.5 guidelines.
NOTE Only the following features use the embedded FIPS 140-2-validated cryptography module:
  • SSH Client
  • SSH Server
  • RSA Host Key Generation
  • SCP File Transfers

Currently, other features using cryptography do not use the embedded FIPS 140-2-validated cryptography module.
