Generally on BIGIP there are four security-type for the SSL key (depending on what modules you have). The security-type specifies the type of security used to handle or store the key.
normal: The key resides in a standard form on the file-system. This is the default value.
fips: The key is protected by a FIPS device on the system and is only applicable to devices with FIPS support
password: Specifies that the key is protected by a passphrase and stored in encrypted form.
nethsm: The key is protected by a FIPS device outside the system.
