Module Name
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 libgcrypt Cryptographic Module
Historical Reason
Moved to historical list due to sunsetting
Caveat
When operated in FIPS mode. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy
Security Level Exceptions
Embodiment
Multi-Chip Stand Alone
Description
The libgcrypt FIPS Runtime Module is a general purpose cryptographic library designed to provide FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic functionality for use with the high level API of the libgcrypt library delivered with RHEL 8.
Tested Configuration(s)
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 running on Dell PowerEdge R430 with an Intel Xeon E5 (single-user mode)
Allowed Algorithms
NDRNG; RSA (key wrapping; key establishment methodology provides between 112 and 150 bits of encryption strength)
Software Versions
rhel8.20190624
