Module Name
IBM® Java JCE FIPS 140-2 Cryptographic Module
Historical Reason
186-2 transition
Caveat
When operated in FIPS mode. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy
Embodiment
Multi-chip standalone
Description
The IBM Java JCE (Java Cryptographic Extension) FIPS provider (IBMJCEFIPS) for Multi-platforms is a scalable, multipurpose cryptographic module that supports many FIPS approved cryptographic operations. This gives Java applications access to the FIPS algorithms via the standard JCE framework that is part of all JVM's at the 1.6 level and higher.
Tested Configuration(s)
- IBM AIX 7.1 on IBM JVM 1.6 running on IBM 9117-570, Windows 7 32-bit on IBM JVM 1.6 running on Dell Optiplex 755, Solaris 11.0 on IBM JVM 1.6 running on Dell Optiplex 755 (single-user mode)
Other Algorithms
AES (non-compliant); Auth HMAC (non-compliant); Diffie-Hellman (key agreement; key establishment methodology provides 112 bits of encryption strength; non-compliant less than 112 bits of encryption strength); DSAforSSL (non-compliant); 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); MD5; RSA (key wrapping; key establishment methodology provides between 112 and 270 bits of encryption strength; non-compliant less than 112 bits of encryption strength); RSAforSSL (non-compliant); Triple-DES (non-compliant); RNG
