1.4 Roles and Services
The modules support two authorized roles (as required by FIPS 140-2) that operators may assume: a Crypto Officer
role and User role.
1.4.1 Crypto-Officer Role
The Crypto-Officer (CO) installs and uninstalls the cryptographic module. Also, the CO is responsible for
monitoring and configuring the modules and call settings.
The Crypto-Officer can manage the VSX modules over a Transport Layer Security (TLS) v1 session through a web
interface. Through this interface, the Crypto-Officer is able to configure the device and setup a call, change secure
mode of operation, monitor current status and perform virtually all of the management of the module. Configuration
of the modules and viewing of status can be performed with a Command Line Interface (CLI) over the local serial
port or remotely via Telnet over TLS. All the management and configuration capabilities are available via the
VSX’s web interface are also available via secure telnet over TLS. The telnet interface includes additional debug
commands that are not available over the web. The Crypto-Officer has access to the following services:
