Module Name
Alliance Key Manager
Historical Reason
RNG SP800-131A Revision 1 Transition
Caveat
When operated with the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 OpenSSL Cryptographic Module validated to FIPS 140-2 under Cert. #1320 operating in FIPS mode (approved algorithms retested on listed operating environment)
Embodiment
Multi-chip standalone
Description
The Alliance Key Manager implements a client/server interface for key administration. The user application has the client role, and the key manager has the server role. The user opens a secure connection to the key server, sends an administrative request (create a key, change a key, etc.), receives a response from the server, and the session is disconnected.
Tested Configuration(s)
- rPath Linux, Version 2.6.29 (single-user mode)
Other Algorithms
MD5, RSA (key wrapping; key establishment methodology provides 112 bits of encryption strength; non-compliant less than 112 bits of encryption strength)
