N/A
This section describes the assurance levels for each of the areas described in the FIPS 140-2 Standard. In addition, it provides information on placing the module in a FIPS 140-2 approved configuration.
3.1 Security Levels
3.2 Physical Security
The Aruba Wireless AP is a scalable, multi-processor standalone network device and is enclosed in a robust plastic housing. The AP enclosure is resistant to probing (please note that this feature has not been tested as part of the FIPS 140-2 validation) and is opaque within the visible spectrum. The enclosure of the AP has been designed to satisfy FIPS 140-2 Level 2 physical security requirements.
3.2.1 Applying TELs
The Crypto Officer is responsible for securing and having control at all times of any unused tamper evident labels. The Crypto Officer should employ TELs as follows:
Before applying a TEL, make sure the target surfaces are clean and dry. Do not cut, trim, punch, or otherwise alter the TEL. Apply the wholly intact TEL firmly and completely to the target surfaces. Ensure that TEL placement is not defeated by simultaneous removal of multiple modules. Allow 24 hours for the TEL adhesive seal to completely cure. Record the position and serial number of each applied TEL in a security log.
For physical security, the AP requires Tamper-Evident Labels (TELs) to allow detection of the opening of the device, and to block the serial console port (on the bottom of the device). The tamper-evident labels shall be installed for the module to operate in a FIPS approved mode of operation. To protect the device from tampering, TELs should be applied by the Crypto Officer as pictured below:
