being loaded onto the module. This test is applied to all loaded firmware
including the FPGA firmware components. If the test passes, the module will
store the new firmware image in EEPROM. A reboot of the module is required to
switch to the new firmware. If the test fails, the new firmware image will be
discarded and the module will resume normal operation.
2.9.4 Critical Functions Tests
When operating in the Permanent Encryption and Encryption Enabled Approved
Modes, critical function self-tests are required by the module when operating the
SP 800-90A CTR DRBG. Critical functions tests are crucial for the proper and
secure operation of the DRBG. These tests will ensure the DRBG always
produces random information.
The StorageTek T10000D Tape Drive performs the following critical function
self-tests:
SP 800-90A DRBG Instantiate Test
SP 800-90A DRBG Generate Test
SP 800-90A DRBG Reseed Test
SP 800-90A DRBG Uninstantiate
2.10 Mitigation of Other Attacks
This section is not applicable. The module does not claim to mitigate any attacks
beyond the FIPS 140-2 Level 1 requirements for this validation.
