Module Name
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 libgcrypt Cryptographic Module
Caveat
When operated in FIPS mode and installed, initialized and configured as specified in Section 10.1 of the Security Policy. The module generates cryptographic keys whose strengths are modified by available entropy.
Security Level Exceptions
Embodiment
Multi-Chip Stand Alone
Description
The libgcrypt FIPS Runtime Module is a general purpose cryptographic library designed to provide FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic functionality for use with the high level API of the libgcrypt library delivered with RHEL 8.
