Cryptographic Module Validation Program CMVP

Certificate #3270

Details

Module Name
Red Hat Enterprise Linux NSS Cryptographic Module
Standard
FIPS 140-2
Status
Historical
 Historical Reason
SP 800-56Arev3 transition
Overall Level
1
Caveat
When operated in FIPS mode. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy

  • Physical Security: N/A
  • Design Assurance: Level 2
Module Type
Software
Embodiment
Multi-Chip Stand Alone
Description
Network Security Services (NSS) is a set of open source C libraries designed to support cross-platform development of security-enabled applications. NSS implements major Internet security standards. NSS is available free of charge under a variety of open source compatible licenses. See http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/.
