Non-Proprietary Security Policy, Version 1.0
Per FIPS PUB 140-2, the VSX 3000, VSX 5000, and VSX 7000s are classified as multi-chip standalone
cryptographic modules and validated at the following FIPS 140-2 Section levels:
1.3 Module Interfaces
The VSX 3000, VSX 5000, and VSX 7000s are multi-chip standalone modules that meet overall level 1 FIPS 140-2
requirements. The cryptographic boundaries of the VSX 3000, VSX 5000, and VSX 7000s are defined by the hard
plastic or metal covers that include all the hardware and software components as shown in figures Figure 1 through
Figure 5.
Ports and interfaces on the module can be categorized as the following FIPS 140-2 logical interfaces:
Data Input Interface
Data Output Interface
Control Input interface
Status Output Interface
Ports and interfaces of the VSX 3000 system are shown in Figure 6 below. The ports on the module's connector
panel are listed below, and mapped to logical interfaces in Table 2 below.
BRI connectors – For ISDN calls
Stereo connector – For headphones or desktop speakers
Composite video connector – Video input to the system from camera or VCR/DVD
Audio connector – Audio input to the system from VCR/DVD
