Module Name
Odyssey Security Component Kernel Mode
Historical Reason
RNG SP800-131A Revision 1 Transition
Caveat
When operated in FIPS mode. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy. No assurance of the minimum strength of generated keys
Security Level Exceptions
- Physical Security: N/A
- Design Assurance: Level 2
- Mitigation of Other Attacks: N/A
Embodiment
Multi-chip standalone
Description
The Odyssey Security Component (OSC) is a general purpose cryptographic library. OSC Kernel Mode is a kernel-mode binary module for the Windows operating system.
Tested Configuration(s)
- Windows 7 SP1 64-bit on Dell Optiplex 755 (single-user mode)
Other Algorithms
RSA (key wrapping; key establishment methodology provides 112 or 128 bits of encryption strength; non-compliant less than 112-bits of encryption strength); AES (Cert. #1990, key wrapping; key establishment methodology provides between 128 and 256 bits of encryption strength); Diffie-Hellman; RSA (encrypt/decrypt)
