Cisco ASA-FPS-CL-5540= Manual De Usuario

Cisco provides an end-to-end remote access security solution for our customers that require FIPS 
compliance. Our FIPS-compliant VPN clients and the FIPS-certified ASA 5500 Series Adaptive 
Security Appliance allow organizations to establish end-to-end, encrypted VPN tunnels for secure 
connectivity for mobile employees and telecommuters.

The FIPS-compliant Cisco VPN client is available in a separate FIPS-compliant release. 
FIPS-compliance for the AnyConnect VPN client is a feature enabled in the local policy, and does not 
require a different release of the AnyConnect client.

Both FIPS-compliant clients are licensed and available from your Cisco representative. This document 
provides general information about these products and contains the following sections:

Cisco FIPS-compliant VPN clients comply with Level 1 of the Federal Information Processing Standard 
(FIPS) 140-2, a U.S. government standard for specific security requirements for cryptographic modules. 
The FIPS 140-2 standard applies to all federal agencies that use cryptographic-based security systems 
to protect sensitive information in computer and telecommunication systems.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) authorizes independent, accredited 
Cryptographic Module Testing (CMT) laboratories to test and validate cryptographic modules against 
FIPS.  A letter from the CMT laboratory that tested the Cisco FIPS-compliant VPN client is available 
from your Cisco representative at your request.
