Cryptographic Module Validation Program CMVP

Certificate #3918

Details

Module Name
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 Kernel Crypto API Cryptographic Module
Standard
FIPS 140-2
Status
Historical
 Historical Reason
SP 800-56Arev3 transition
 Transitional Note
Pending SP 800-56Arev3 transition revalidation
Overall Level
1
Caveat
When operated in FIPS mode. The module generates random strings whose strengths are modified by available entropy.
Security Level Exceptions
  • Physical Security: N/A
  • Mitigation of Other Attacks: N/A
Module Type
Software
Embodiment
Multi-Chip Stand Alone
Description
The Linux kernel Crypto API implemented in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 provides services operating inside the Linux kernel with various ciphers, message digests and an approved random number generator.
Tested Configuration(s)
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 running on Dell PowerEdge R430 with an Intel(R) Xeon(R) E5 with PAA
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 running on Dell PowerEdge R430 with an Intel(R) Xeon(R) E5 without PAA (single-user mode)
