The module has two error states: a Soft Error state and a Fatal Error state. When one or more power-up self-tests
fail, the module may enter either the Fatal Error state or the Soft Error State. When a conditional self-test fails, the
module enters the Soft Error state. See Section 3 of this document for more information.

This section is not applicable. No claim is made that the module mitigates against any attacks beyond the FIPS 140-
2 Level 2 requirements for this validation.
