3 TopicsMoving FIPS keys from 8900 to 10200
Hello, According to DOC, it seems likely FIPS-2 keys sync is not possible between 8900 and 10200 due to FIPS hardware difference (no exact platform mention, but it's close enough): https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/bigip-platform-fips-administration.pdf?sr=32944290 Important: Because of hardware differences, it is not possible to synchronize security domains between the newer platforms(10000/11000/11050 platforms) and older platforms (6900/8900platforms). Q: Assuming identical software version and security world configuration - is there an alternate way to move FIPS keys from 8900 to 10200?

I am trying to validate the F5 FIPS models at http://csrc.nist.gov/cryptval/140-1/1401val.htm for a STIG test. But the list does not have F5 Networks that I can find, is the HSM vendor listed? If so what is the actual device installed in the F5 so I can reference that certification letter?195Views0likes1Comment
