Module Name
IBM(R) Security QRadar(R) Cryptographic Security Kernel
Historical Reason
Moved to historical list due to sunsetting
Caveat
The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy
Security Level Exceptions
- Roles, Services, and Authentication: Level 2
- Physical Security: N/A
- Mitigation of Other Attacks: N/A
Embodiment
Multi-Chip Stand Alone
Description
The IBM(R) Security QRadar(R) Cryptographic Security Kernel is multi-algorithm library providing general-purpose cryptographic services. The purpose of the module is to provide a single API for cryptographic functionality that can provide centralized control over FIPS-Approved mode status, provide availability of only FIPS-Approved algorithms or vendor-affirmed implementations of non FIPS-Approved algorithms, and provide for centralized logging and reporting of the cryptographic engine.
Tested Configuration(s)
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) v6.5 running on a IBM System X3650 M4 BD (single-user mode)
Other Algorithms
Diffie-Hellman (key agreement; key establishment methodology provides between 112 and 202 bits of encryption strength); MD5; HMAC MD5; RSA (key wrapping; key establishment methodology provides between 112 and 256 bits of encryption strength)
