Module Name
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server libgcrypt Cryptographic Module
Caveat
When operated in FIPS mode and installed, initialized and configured as specified in section 9 of the Security Policy. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy.
Security Level Exceptions
Embodiment
Multi-Chip Stand Alone
