Cryptographic Module Validation Program CMVP

Certificate #3185

Details

Module Name
VMware BC-FJA (Bouncy Castle FIPS Java API)
Standard
FIPS 140-2
Status
Historical
 Historical Reason
Moved to historical list due to sunsetting
Overall Level
1
Caveat
When operated in FIPS mode. No assurance of the minimum strength of generated keys. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy
Security Level Exceptions
  • Physical Security: N/A
Module Type
Software
Embodiment
Multi-Chip Stand Alone
Description
The VMware BC-FJA (Bouncy Castle FIPS Java API) is a software cryptographic module that provides cryptographic functions and services to various VMware applications via a well-defined Java-language application programming interface (API).
