Module Name
Proofpoint Security Library
Historical Reason
RNG SP800-131A Revision 1 Transition
Caveat
When operated in FIPS mode. No assurance of the minimum strength of generated keys. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy
Security Level Exceptions
Embodiment
Multi-chip standalone
Description
The module is a C++ language cryptographic component to be used by the various Proofpoint security products. The module is designed to meet Level 1 requirements of FIPS 140-2 standard. The module is a cryptographic library that provides a variety of cryptographic services (both approved as well as non-approved). The module can be executed on any general-purpose PC running Cent OS 5.
Tested Configuration(s)
- CentOS 5 running on Dell Latitude E6400 (single-user mode)
Other Algorithms
AES RNG; DSA (non-compliant); RC2; Triple-DES (non-compliant)
