Description
The Oracle Solaris OS utilizes the Oracle Solaris Kernel Cryptographic Framework module to provide cryptographic functionality for any kernel-level processes that require it, via Oracle-proprietary APIs. The module includes the SPARC T4 processor special instruction sets for hardware-accelerated cryptography.
Tested Configuration(s)
- Oracle Solaris 11.1 running on a SPARC T4-1 Server
- Oracle Solaris 11.1 running on a SPARC T5-2 Server (single-user mode)
Other Algorithms
AES-CTS (non-compliant); AES-XCBC-MAC (non-compliant); MD4; MD5; HMAC-MD5; RC4; DES; Blowfish; Triple-DES (non-compliant); RSA (key wrapping; key establishment methodology provides between 112 and 192 bits of encryption strength; non-compliant less than 112 bits of encryption strength)
Hardware Versions
