Thanks Ilya. I think there are 2 things we are interested in:
1) If the crypto is done with a FIPS validated module
2) Are the crypto algorithms all FIPS approved

For 2), I think we can choose the encryption algorithms we use in IPSec
(Please correct me if I was wrong).
For 1), do you have more information on that?
