How is data secured in Unified Workspace

Some customers have asked if Unified Workspace is FIPS Certified and specifically FIPS 140-2. Being FIPS certified means that your software uses FIPS certified cryptographic modules and has been verified by one of the approved NIST laboratories. UW uses many different packages from many different companies and open source groups and each customer had different needs and configurations which may or may not need certain ciphers and protocols enabled/disabled that may go against the FIPS certification / compliancy. Some packages that UW implements is FIPS compliant, for example, OPENSSL

We are providing information on the various parts of the product and what type of encryption is used.

Customer to Unified Workspace Relay - SSL/TLS (when SSL is enabled)
UW Relay to UW Server - SSL/TLS
Lockboxes - AES-256
UW Server to Directory Services - SSL/TLS (when configured to use SSL)
UW Data stored in Directory Services - AES-256
StonewareLoader.xml - Blowfish
8090 Conole - SSL/TLS (when SSL is enabled)
PipeLine - SSL/TLS
UW Relay to 3rd party web service - Uses whatever encryption the 3rd part web service uses/requires
Session Information - AES-256
Relay Central - Not currently encrypted between UW Relay to UW Relay
