Module Name
BC-FJA (Bouncy Castle FIPS Java API)
Historical Reason
Moved to historical list due to sunsetting
Caveat
When operated in FIPS mode. No assurance of the minimum strength of generated keys
Security Level Exceptions
- Physical Security: N/A
- Mitigation of Other Attacks: N/A
Embodiment
Multi-Chip Stand Alone
Description
The Bouncy Castle FIPS Java API is a comprehensive suite of FIPS Approved algorithms implemented in pure Java. All key sizes and modes have been implemented to allow flexibility and efficiency, and additional algorithms are available in non-approved operation as well.
