FIPS Management Overview
The Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140 is a publicly announced
standard developed jointly by the United States and Canadian federal
governments specifying requirements for cryptographic modules that are used by
government agencies to protect sensitive but unclassified information. The Cisco
IronPort Email Security appliance uses the CiscoSSL Cryptographic Toolkit to
achieve FIPS 140-2 Level 1 complaince.

The CiscoSSL Cryptographic Toolkit is a a GGSG-approved cryptography suite
that includes Cisco SSL, which is an enhanced version of OpenSSL’s FIPS
support, and the FIPS-compliant Cisco Common Cryptography Module. The
Cisco Common Cryptography Module is a software library that Email Security
appliance uses for FIPS-validated cryptographic algorithms for protocols such
SSH.
