FIPS Validation in the Virtual Traffic Manager

This chapter includes information specific to the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) and provides details about how FIPS can be implemented in the Virtual Traffic Manager.

Introduction to FIPS

FIPS is developed by the United States federal government for use in computer systems. If available, and provided you have the required license, the Virtual Traffic Manager provides conformity with FIPS through use of a specific operational mode and a third party cryptographic operations module.

ATTENTION The Virtual Traffic Manager is not “FIPS validated”. Subject to availability, the Virtual Traffic Manager uses a validated cryptographic module for all FIPS operations.

For further information concerning FIPS and how it relates to the Virtual Traffic Manager, contact your support provider.

Although the FIPS module is still present in the Ivanti Virtual Traffic Manager product, enabling it does not beget compliance. The Ivanti vTM does not currently hold FIPS certification. Our internal teams are evaluating recertification to ensure this module can again be used to achieve FIPS compliance. Changes to this status will be recorded in vTM release notes.
