Cryptographic Module Validation Program CMVP

Certificate #2582

Details

Module Name
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.6 Kernel Crypto API Cryptographic Module
Standard
FIPS 140-2
Status
Historical
 Historical Reason
Moved to historical list due to dependency on certificate #2564
Overall Level
1
Caveat
When operated in FIPS mode with Network Security Services (NSS) Module validated to FIPS 140-2 under Cert. #2564 operating in FIPS mode. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy
Security Level Exceptions
  • Physical Security: N/A
  • Mitigation of Other Attacks: N/A
Module Type
Software
Embodiment
Multi-Chip Stand Alone
Description
The Linux kernel Crypto API implemented in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.6 provides services operating inside the Linux kernel with various ciphers, message digests and an approved random number generator.
