Description
The Vormetric Encryption Expert Cryptographic Module is a loadable kernel module also known as "SECFS" (SECure File System). This module is a file system layer that enforces an access and encryption policy upon selected data on end-user systems. The policy specifies a key to be used when writing data to disk and while reading data from disk. This module contains the Vormetric Encryption Expert Cryptographic Library, which provides all cryptographic services.
Tested Configuration(s)
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3 running on a Supermicro X9DR7, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP 2 running on a Supermicro X9DR7 (single-user mode)
Other Algorithms
ARIA; RSA (key wrapping; key establishment methodology provides 112 bits of encryption strength)
Hardware Versions
