FIPS 140-2 Validation Certificate The National Institute of Standards The Communications Security and Technology of the United States Establishment of the Government of America of Canada Ts' Certificate No. 1310 The National Institute of Standards and Technology, as the United States FIPS 140-2 Cryptographic Module Validation Authority; and the Communications Security Establishment, as the Canadian FIPS 140-2 Cryptographic Module Validation Authority; hereby validate the FIPS 140-2 testing results of the Cryptographic Module identified as:

CCORE Module by Cellcrypt Limited in accordance with the Derived Test Requirements for FIPS 140-2, Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules.

FIPS 140-2 specifies the security requirements that are to be satisfied by a cryptographic module utilized within a security system protecting Sensitive Information (United States) or Protected Information (Canada) within computer and telecommunications systems (including voice systems).

Products which use the above identified cryptographic module may be labeled as complying with the requirements of FIPS 140-2 so long as the product, throughout its life cycle, continues to use the validated version of the cryptographic module as specified in this certificate. The validation report contains additional details concerning test results. No reliability test has been performed and no warranty of the products by both agencies is either expressed or implied.

This certificate includes details on the scope of conformance and validation authority signatures on the reverse.

FIPS 140-2 provides four increasing, qualitative levels of security: Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, and Level 4. These levels are intended to cover the wide range and potential applications and environments in which cryptographic modules may be employed. The security requirements cover eleven areas related to the secure design and implementation of a cryptographic module. The scope of conformance achieved by the cryptographic modules as tested in the product identified as:

CCORE Module by Cellcrypt Limited (Software Version: 0.6.0-rc3; Software)

CEAL: a CygnaCom Solutions Laboratory,NVLAP Lab Code 200002-0 and tested by the Cryptographic Module Testing accredited laboratory: CRYPTIK Version 7.0 is as follows:

CryptographicModule Specification: Level 1 CryptographicModule Ports and Interfaces: Level 1 Roles, Services, and Authentication; Level 1 Finite State Model: Level 1 Physical Security: Level NWA CryptographicKey Management: Level 1 (Multi-Chip Standalone)

EMI/EMC: Level 1 Self-Tests: Level 1 Design Assurance: Level 1 Mitigation of Other Attacks: Level N/A OperationalEnvironment: Level 1 tested in the following configuration(s): Ubuntu Server The following FIPS approved Cryptographic Algorithms are used: AES (Cert. #1089); RSA (Cert. #514); SHS (Cert. #1022); HMAC (Cert. #612);

RNG (Cert. #611)

The cryptographic module also contains the following non-FIPS approved algorithms: RSA (key wrapping; key establishment methodology provides 112 bits of encryption strength); RC4; MD5; EC Diffie-Hellman (non-compliant); ECDSA (non-compliant)
