Description
The Cisco Common Cryptographic Module (C3M) is a software library that provides cryptographic services to a vast array of Cisco's networking and collaboration products. The module provides FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms for services such as sRTP, SSH, TLS, 802.1x etc. The module does not implement any of the protocols directly. Instead, it provides the cryptographic primitives and functions to allow a developer to implement various protocols.
Tested Configuration(s)
- Android 2.3.3 (single-user mode)
- FreeBSD 8.2 (32-bit and 64-bit)
- Linux Kernel 2.6.27.7
- Mac OS X 10.6 (32-bit and 64-bit)
- Openwall Linux 3.0 (32-bit)
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux v5 (32-bit and 64-bit)
- Windows 7 SP1 (32-bit and 64-bit)
- Yellow Dog Linux 6.2
Other Algorithms
Diffie-Hellman (key agreement; key establishment methodology provides between 112 and 152 bits of encryption strength; non-compliant less than 112 bits of encryption strength); EC Diffie-Hellman (key agreement; key establishment methodology provides between 112 and 256 bits of encryption strength; non-compliant less than 112 bits of encryption strength); RSA (key wrapping; key establishment methodology provides between 112 and 152 bits of encryption strength; non-compliant less than 112 bits of encryption strength)
