Module Name
Oracle Linux 7 NSS Cryptographic Module
Historical Reason
SP 800-56Arev3 transition
Caveat
When operated in FIPS mode. 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 3
Embodiment
Multi-Chip Stand Alone
Description
Oracle Linux is a set of cryptographic libraries, services, and user level cryptographic applications that are validated at FIPS 140-2 level 1, providing a secure foundation for vendor use in developing dependent services, applications, and even purpose built appliances that may be FIPS 140-2 validated.
