Certificate #1964

Details

Module Name
Apple OS X CoreCrypto Module, v3.0
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

Software
Embodiment
Multi-chip standalone
Description
The Apple OS X CoreCrypto Module is a software cryptographic module running on a multi-chip standalone mobile device and provides services intended to protect data in transit and at rest.
Tested Configuration(s)
  • OS X 10.8 running on iMac with i7 CPU with PAA
  • OS X 10.8 running on iMac with i7 CPU without PAA (single-user mode)
  • OS X 10.8 running on Mac mini with i5 CPU with PAA
  • OS X 10.8 running on Mac mini with i5 CPU without PAA
