Tamper-Evident Labels
After testing, the Crypto Officer must apply Tamper-Evident Labels (TELs) to the controller. When applied properly, the
TELs allow the Crypto Officer to detect the opening of the chassis cover, the removal or replacement of modules or cover
plates, or physical access to restricted ports. Vendor provides
FIPS 140
designated TELs which have met the physical
security testing requirements for tamper evident labels under the FIPS 140-2 Standard. TELs are not endorsed by the
Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP).
The tamper-evident labels shall be installed for the module to operate in a FIPS
Approved mode of operation.
Aruba Provides double the required amount of TELs. If a customer requires
replacement TELs, please call customer support and Aruba will provide the TELs
(Part #
4011570-01
).
The Crypto officer shall be responsible for keeping the extra TELs at a safe location
and managing the use of the TELs.
Reading TELs
Once applied, the TELs included with the controller cannot be surreptitiously broken, removed, or reapplied without an
obvious change in appearance:

Each TEL also has a unique serial number to prevent replacement with similar labels.
