I need to comply with FIPS 140-2

VanDyke Software has partnered with RSA Security, Inc. to use the BSAFE Crypto-C Micro Edition cryptography module which has been tested by Atlan Laboratories, an accredited testing laboratory for FIPS compliance. This module has met all Level 1 requirements for FIPS 140-2 compliance when operated in FIPS Mode. The product versions that can run in FIPS mode are shown below. Click the certificate number below to review the FIPS Validation Certificate for the BSAFE module used by the specified product.

* Prior to version 3.6, the 64-bit edition of VShell for Windows did not support FIPS mode.

If you need to protect data in transit as outlined by FIPS 140-2 or NIST 800-53, these products now have an administrator option to run in "FIPS Mode". When this option is set, only FIPS-approved algorithms are allowed to be used.

FIPS-approved algorithms: The following FIPS-approved Cryptographic algorithms are used: DSA (Cert. #143); Triple-DES (Cert. #378); AES (Cert, #303); RSA (Cert. #96); SHA-1; Diffie-Helman (used for key exchange in SSH2 is allowed in FIPS Mode but not approved).

The following algorithms are not available in FIPS Mode: MD5; Twofish; Blowfish; RC4.

VanDyke Software products are a secure replacement for Telnet and FTP that provide end-to-end protection for data in transit that meets Federal recommendations. VShell server combines strong security with simple configuration. SecureCRT and SecureFX clients provide an excellent balance between strong security, capacity for customization, and ease of use.

SecureCRT is an extremely customizable terminal emulator with support for Secure Shell (SSH1 and SSH2) as well as Telnet, Telnet/SSL, RLogin, Serial, and TAPI protocols. SecureCRT is ideal for connecting to remote systems running Windows, UNIX, and VMS.

SecureFX is a high-security file transfer client with great flexibility in configuration and transfer protocols. SecureFX includes a command-line utility for scripting batch jobs to perform secure unattended file transfers and also supports "relentless" file transfers that automatically reconnect and resume when connections are broken.

VShell server, a secure alternative to Telnet and FTP with additional data tunneling services, is a secure portal to a Windows or UNIX server's resources and the network. VShell provides secure authentication, strong encryption, and data integrity using the open Secure Shell protocol (SSH2).
