Module Name
VMware's BC-FJA (Bouncy Castle FIPS Java API)
Historical Reason
Moved to historical list due to sunsetting
Caveat
When installed, initialized and configured as specified in the Security Policy Section 3 and operated in FIPS mode. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy.
