Module Name
Provizio Crypto Module
Historical Reason
SP 800-56Arev3 transition
Caveat
When installed, initialized, and configured as specified in Section 3 of the Security Policy. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy. This validation entry is a non-security-relevant modification of Cert. #3432.
Security Level Exceptions
- Physical Security: N/A
- Mitigation of Other Attacks: N/A
Embodiment
Multi-Chip Stand Alone
Description
The Provizio Crypto Module (PCM) is a general-purpose, software cryptographic module providing FIPS 140-2 Approved cryptography via a C language Application Programming Interface. PCM meets the overall requirements applicable to a multi-chip stand-alone embodiment at Level 1 security of FIPS 140-2. PCM is a cryptographic library providing symmetric and asymmetric encryption and decryption, message digest, message authentication, random number generation, key generation, digital signature generation and verification, along with other cryptographic functionality.
Tested Configuration(s)
