Encryption Engine Status Table

Provides the following essential identification and status information for each encryption engine:

Engine ID(cieEngineID)

Engine Card Number(cieEngineCardIndex)

ESA Tampered With(cieEsaTampered)

ESA Authenticated(cieEsaAuthenticated)

ESA Mode(cieEsaMode)

Engine Public Key(cieEnginePublicKey)


Engine ID(cieEngineID)

A value uniquely identifying an encryption engine. Software engines use the processor ID, the ESA card uses its own ID.


Engine Card Number(cieEngineCardIndex)

The card number of the ESA. A software engine uses the value 0 (zero).


ESA Tampered With(cieEsaTampered)

Indicates whether the ESA card has been tampered with. Software encryption engines do not provide this value.


ESA Authenticated(cieEsaAuthenticated)

Indicates whether or not this ESA card has been properly authenticated for this router. Software encryption engines do not provide this value.


ESA Mode(cieEsaMode)

The current operating mode of the ESA card, corresponding to the LED status shown on the ESA card. Software engines do not provide this value.


Engine Public Key(cieEnginePublicKey)

The public key that the particular engine uses.
