Module Name
HiCOS PKI Native Smart Card Cryptographic Module
Historical Reason
SP 800-131A transition which disallows key wrapping not compliant to SP 800-38F.
Caveat
No assurance of the minimum strength of generated keys
Security Level Exceptions
- Cryptographic Module Ports and Interfaces: Level 3
- Roles, Services, and Authentication: Level 3
- Physical Security: Level 3
- EMI/EMC: Level 3
- Design Assurance: Level 3
Description
The HiCOS PKI native smart card module is a single chip implementation of a cryptographic module. The HiCOS PKI native smart card module is mounted in an ID-1 class smart card body that adheres to ISO/IEC specifications for Integrated Circuit Chip (ICC) based identification cards. The module consists of the chip (ICC), the contact faceplate, and the electronic connectors between the chip and contact pad, all contained within an epoxy substrate.
Other Algorithms
NDRNG; RSA (key wrapping; key establishment methodology provides 112 bits of encryption strength); Triple-DES (Certs. #1999, key wrapping; key establishment methodology provides 112 bits of encryption strength)
Firmware Versions
HardMask: 2.2 and SoftMask: 1.2 and 1.3
