Cryptographic Module Validation Program CMVP

Certificate #2792

Details

Module Name
BC-FNA (Bouncy Castle FIPS .NET API)
Standard
FIPS 140-2
Status
Historical
 Historical Reason
Moved to historical list due to sunsetting
Overall Level
1
Caveat
When installed, initialized and configured as specified in the Security Policy Section 8 and operated in FIPS mode. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy. No assurance of the minimum strength of generated keys.
Security Level Exceptions
  • Physical Security: N/A
Module Type
Software
Embodiment
Multi-Chip Stand Alone
Description
The Bouncy Castle FIPS .NET API is a comprehensive suite of FIPS Approved algorithms implemented in pure C#. All key sizes and modes have been implemented to allow flexibility and efficiency, and additional algorithms, including some post-quantum ones, are available in non-approved operation as well.
Tested Configuration(s)
  • Microsoft Windows 10 Professional (64-bit) on .NET 4.5.2 framework running on Dell XPS 15 7590 with Intel Core i7-9750H (single-user mode)
