Announcement PDF 27 April 2017 ASX ANNOUNCEMENT Senetas 100Gbps encryptor receives FIPS certification Senetas Corporation Ltd (“Senetas”) (ASX: SEN) announced that it has received today the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) certification for its new 100Gbps ultra fast, high assurance and ultra-low latency network encryptor. FIPS is a U.S. Government computer security standard used to approve cryptographic modules. Following an extensive evaluation process the Senetas CN9000 Series on software version 3.0.0 has been allocated FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certificate number 2892 which can be viewed at: csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp/documents/140-1/1401val2017.htm. Senetas CEO, Andrew Wilson said, “The Senetas CN9000 series is the first commercially available range of certified high-assurance 100Gbps Ethernet encryptors that support the most complex ultra-fast networks enabling 100% security for Big Data, Cloud and data centre services. FIPS certification is a critical requirement to allow sales of the 100Gbps encryptor to U.S. Government agencies and other organisations that provide services to U.S. Government agencies and was the final regulatory hurdle required before sales of the 100Gbps encryptor could commence. “Customer interest in the 100Gbps encyptor remains strong, however, the precise timing for the commencement of sales remain subject to completion of customer trials and network infrastructure upgrades.” END For further information please contact: Chris Knorr Market Eye M: +61 417 033 623 E: chris.knorr@marketeye.com.au ABOUT SENETAS CORPORATION LIMITED Senetas, an Australian public listed company (ASX:SEN), is a leading developer and manufacturer of certified high-assurance encryption hardware; dedicated to protecting network transmitted data without compromising application and network performance.
