Module Name
BC-FJA (Bouncy Castle FIPS Java API)
Historical Reason
SP 800-56Arev3 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
Embodiment
Multi-Chip Stand Alone
Description
The Bouncy Castle FIPS Java API is a comprehensive suite of FIPS Approved algorithms implemented in pure Java. All key sizes and modes have been implemented to allow flexibility and efficiency, and additional algorithms are available in non-approved operation as well. The module is designed to integrate with the associated Bouncy Castle APIs including those for TLS, X.509, CMS, S/MIME, TSP, PKIX, and OpenPGP.
