This document is the security policy for Sun StorageTek T10000A Tape Drive. The document provides an overview of the module, security level, modes of operation, ports and interfaces, identification and authentication policy, definition of critical security parameters, access control policy, physical security, mitigation of other attacks policy, and references.
The Sun StorageTek T10000A Tape Drive Security Policy describes the device as a hardware cryptographic module that provides FIPS 140‑2 Level 1 security for data stored on magnetic tape. It outlines the purpose of the module, its cryptographic boundary, and the two possible system configurations – KMS 1.x and KMS 2.x.
The document details security levels, modes of operation, approved and non‑approved algorithms, authentication mechanisms, and how to verify FIPS mode via the Virtual Operator Panel. It also lists physical security measures, mitigation policies, and references to related standards and manuals.
