- Mitigation of Other Attacks: N/A
Module Type
Software-Hybrid
Embodiment
Multi-chip standalone
Description
Module Description: z/VM System SSL provides cryptographic functions which allows z/VM to protect data using the SSL/TLS protocols. z/VM System SSL also enables administrators to create and manage X.509 V3 certificates and keys within key database files.
Tested Configuration(s)
- z/VM Version 6 Release 3 running on IBM System z10 (TM) Enterprise Class (z10 EC) with CP Assist for Cryptographic Functions DES/TDES Enablement Feature 3863 (single-user mode)
Other Algorithms
Diffie-Hellman (key agreement; key establishment methodology provides 112 bits of encryption strength); RSA (key wrapping; key establishment methodology provides between 112 and 150 bits of encryption strength); HMAC-MD5
Hardware Versions
