2.7.2 Key Generation
The module uses an ANSI X9.31 DRNG with 2-key 3DES to generate cryptographic keys. This DRNG is a FIPS
140-2 approved DRNG as specified in Annex C to FIPS PUB 140-2.
2.7.3 Key/CSP Zeroization
All ephemeral keys are stored in volatile memory in plaintext. Ephemeral keys are zeroized when they are no longer
used. Other keys and CSPs are stored in non-volatile memory with client keys being stored in encrypted form.
To zeroize all keys and CSPs in the module, the Crypto Officer should execute the reset factory settings
zeroize command at the serial console interface. For security reasons, this command is available only through the
serial console.
2.8 Self-Tests
The device implements two types of self-tests: power-up self-tests and conditional self-tests.
Power-up self-tests include the following tests:
• Firmware integrity tests
• Known Answer Test (KAT) on 3DES
• KAT on AES
• KAT on SHA-1
• KAT on SHA-256
• KAT on SHA-384
• KAT on SHA-512
• KAT on HMAC SHA-1
• KAT on HMAC SHA-256
• KAT on ANSI X9.31 DRNG
• KAT on Diffie-Hellman
• KAT on SSH Key Derivation Function
• KAT on RSA signature generation and verification
• Pairwise consistency test on DSA signature generation and verification
Conditional self-tests include the following tests:
