Cryptographic Module Validation Program CMVP

Certificate #2768

Details

Module Name
BC-FJA (Bouncy Castle FIPS Java API)
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. No assurance of the minimum strength of generated keys
Security Level Exceptions
  • Physical Security: N/A
Module Type
Software
Embodiment
Multi-Chip Stand Alone
Description
The Bouncy Castle FIPS Java API is a comprehensive suite of FIPS Approved algorithms implemented in pure Java. All key sizes and modes have been implemented to allow flexibility and efficiency, and additional algorithms are available in non-approved operation as well.
Tested Configuration(s)
  • Java SE Runtime Environment v7 (1.7.0) on Solaris 11 on vSphere 6 running on a Cisco UCSB-B200-M4 Blade
  • Java SE Runtime Environment v8 (1.8.0) on Centos 6.4 on vSphere 6 running on a Cisco UCSB-B200-M4 Blade
  • Java SE Runtime Environment v8 (1.8.0) on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS on VMWare ESXi 6.0 running on Simplivity OmniCube (single-user mode)
