Module Name
ColorTokens OpenSSL FIPS Object Module
Historical Reason
186-2 transition
Caveat
When built, installed, protected and initialized as assumed by the Crypto Officer role and as specified in the provided Security Policy and operated in FIPS mode. Appendix A of the provided Security Policy specifies the actual distribution tar file containing the source code of this module. There shall be no additions, deletions or alterations to the tar file contents as used during module build. The distribution tar file shall be verified as specified in Appendix A of the provided Security Policy. Installation and protection shall be completed as specified in Appendix A of the provided Security Policy. Initialization shall be invoked as per Section 4 of the provided Security Policy. Any deviation from specified verification, protection, installation and initialization procedures will result in a non FIPS 140-2 compliant module. This validation entry is a non-security relevant modification to Cert. #2398
Security Level Exceptions
- Roles, Services, and Authentication: Level 2
- Physical Security: N/A
- Design Assurance: Level 3
- Mitigation of Other Attacks: N/A
Embodiment
Multi-Chip Stand Alone
Description
The Module is a software cryptographic module that is built from the OpenSSL. The module is a software library that provides C-language application program interface (API) for use by other processes that require cryptographic functionality to various modules of the ColorTokens application.
