0 Introduction
0.1 Purpose
This is a non-proprietary Cryptographic Module Security Policy for the VSX 3000, VSX 5000, and VSX 7000s
from Polycom, Inc.. This Security Policy describes how the VSX 3000, VSX 5000, and VSX 7000s meet the
security requirements of FIPS 140-2 and how to run the module in a secure FIPS 140-2 mode. This policy was
prepared as part of the Level 1 FIPS 140-2 validation of the module.
FIPS 140-2 (Federal Information Processing Standards Publication 140-2 – Security Requirements for
Cryptographic Modules) details the U.S. Government requirements for cryptographic modules. More information
about the FIPS 140-2 standard and validation program is available on the National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST) Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP) website at: http://csrc.nist.gov/cryptval/
The VSX 3000, VSX 5000, and VSX 7000s are referred to in this document as the VSX systems, the hardware
modules, the cryptographic modules, or the modules.
