vCloud Usage Meter uses FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic modules to run in FIPS-compliant mode. The NIST Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP) validates the cryptographic modules compliant with the FIPS 140-2 standards.
The CPU of the vCloud Usage Meter appliance must support Intel Secure Key Technology.
When you deploy the vCloud Usage Meter appliance, FIPS 140-2 is enabled by default.
The following validated modules are used:
- BC-FJA (Bouncy Castle FIPS Java API) version 1.0.2: Certificate #3673
- VMware OpenSSL FIPS Object Module version 2.0.20: Certificate #3550
For more information about the cryptographic modules that VMware has validated against the FIPS 140-2 standard, see: https://www.vmware.com/security/certifications/fips.html.
