1. Introduction
1.1 Purpose
This document is a non-proprietary Cryptographic Module Security Policy for the
Blue Coat SSL Visibility Appliance model SV2800. The SV2800 model should be
operated with the v3.5.2 build 961 firmware version. This policy was prepared as
part of the Level 2 FIPS 140-2 validation of the module, and may freely be
reproduced and distributed in its entirety (without modification).
Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2, Security Requirements for
Cryptographic Modules, specifies the U.S. and Canadian Governments'
requirements for cryptographic modules. The following pages describe how the
Blue Coat SSL Visibility Appliance meets these requirements and how to operate
the device in a mode compliant with FIPS 140-2.
More information about the FIPS 140-2 standard and validation program is
