Module Name
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Kernel Crypto API Cryptographic Module
Historical Reason
Moved to historical list due to dependency on certificate #3270
Caveat
When operated in FIPS mode with module Red Hat Enterprise Linux NSS Cryptographic Module validated to FIPS 140-2 under Cert. #3270 operating in FIPS mode. The module generates random strings whose strengths are modified by available entropy
Security Level Exceptions
- Physical Security: N/A
- Mitigation of Other Attacks: N/A
Embodiment
Multi-Chip Stand Alone
Description
The Linux kernel Crypto API implemented in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 provides services operating inside the Linux kernel with various ciphers, message digests and an approved random number generator.
Tested Configuration(s)
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.5 running on Dell PowerEdge R630 with PAA
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.5 running on Dell PowerEdge R630 without PAA (single-user mode)
