Module Name
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 NSS Cryptographic Module
Caveat
When operated in FIPS mode and installed, initialized and configured as specified in Section 9.1 of the Security Policy. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy
Security Level Exceptions
- Roles, Services, and Authentication: Level 2
- Physical Security: N/A
- Design Assurance: Level 2
Embodiment
Multi-Chip Stand Alone
Description
Network Security Services (NSS) is a set of open source C libraries designed to support cross-platform development of security-enabled applications. NSS implements major Internet security standards. NSS is available free of charge under a variety of open source compatible licenses. See http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/.
