NIST FIPs 140-1 and FIPS 140-2 certifications

Many new hardware components certified:

In particular I found this...

IBM eServer Cryptographic Coprocessor Security Module
Model 4764-001
Security Policy
http://csrc.nist.gov/cryptval/140-1/140sp/140sp661.pdf
The 4764 Coprocessor is an updated version of the 4758. The above document details the differences between them.

If you recall, Wave lists the IBM 4758 PCI Cryptographic Coprocessor as an optional to the Embassy Key Management Server:

4764 was recently certified as FIPS level 4:

I wonder if we'll see Wave update their site, since IBM is retiring the 4758 and 4764 will soon become available.


Also, here is the FIPs 140-1 and FIPS 140-2 Vendor list. It was updated May 8, 2006.
