Roles and Services

Authentication is role-based. There are two main roles in the router that operators may assume: the

Crypto Officer role and the User role. The administrator of the router assumes the Crypto Officer role

in order to configure and maintain the router using Crypto Officer services, while the Users exercise only

the basic User services. Both roles are authenticated by providing a valid username and password. The

configuration of the encryption and decryption functionality is performed only by the Crypto Officer

after authentication to the Crypto Officer role by providing a valid Crypto Officer username and

password. Once the Crypto Officer configured the encryption and decryption functionality, the User can

use this functionality after authentication to the User role by providing a valid User username and

password. The Crypto Officer can also use the encryption and decryption functionality after

authentication to the Crypto Officer role. The module supports RADIUS and TACACS+ for

authentication and they are used in the FIPS mode. A complete description of all the management and

configuration capabilities of the Cisco 2621XM and 2651XM Routers can be found in the Performing

Basic System Management manual and in the online help for the router.

The User and Crypto Officer passwords and the RADIUS/TACACS+ shared secrets must each be at least

8 alphanumeric characters in length. See the

section on page

PIN, the probability of randomly guessing the correct sequence is 1 in 1,814,400. Including the rest of

the alphanumeric characters drastically decreases the odds of guessing the correct sequence.

Crypto Officer Services

During initial configuration of the router, the Crypto Officer password (the "enable" password) is

defined. A Crypto Officer may assign permission to access the Crypto Officer role to additional

accounts, thereby creating additional Crypto Officers.

The Crypto Officer role is responsible for the configuration and maintenance of the router. The Crypto

Officer services consist of the following:
