Cryptographic Module Validation Program CMVP

Certificate #2610

Details

Module Name
Apple OS X CoreCrypto Module, v6.0
Standard
FIPS 140-2
Status
Historical
 Historical Reason
Moved to historical list due to sunsetting
Overall Level
1
Caveat
When operated in FIPS mode. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy
Security Level Exceptions
  • Physical Security: N/A
Module Type
Software
Embodiment
Multi-Chip Stand Alone
Description
The Apple OS X CoreCrypto Module is a software cryptographic module running on a multi-chip standalone mobile device and provides services intended to protect data in transit and at rest.
