Module Name
Oracle Linux 7 NSS Cryptographic Module
Historical Reason
SP 800-56Arev3 transition
Transitional Note
Pending SP 800-56Arev3 transition revalidation
Caveat
When operated in FIPS mode. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy
Security Level Exceptions
- Roles, Services, and Authentication: Level 2
- Physical Security: N/A
- Design Assurance: Level 3
Embodiment
Multi-Chip Stand Alone
