Module Name
VMware's BoringCrypto Module
Historical Reason
Moved to historical list due to sunsetting
Caveat
When installed, initialized and configured as specified in Section 3.1 of the Security Policy and operated in FIPS mode. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy
Security Level Exceptions
- Physical Security: N/A
- Mitigation of Other Attacks: N/A
Embodiment
Multi-Chip Stand Alone
