This document constitutes the non-proprietary Cryptographic Module Security Policy for the AP-92, AP93, AP-105 and AP-175 Wireless Access Points with FIPS 140-2 Level 2 validation from Aruba Networks.
This security policy describes how the AP meets the security requirements of FIPS 140-2 Level 2, and how
to place and maintain the AP in a secure FIPS 140-2 mode. This policy was prepared as part of the FIPS
140-2 Level 2 validation of the product.
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) Web-site at:
