Multi-Chip Stand Alone
Description
The Crypto-C Micro Edition (ME) Module is RSA's cryptographic library designed for securing mobile devices like wireless phones and personal digital assistants. It contains assembly-level optimizations on key wireless processors. Its functionality includes a wide range of data encryption and signing algorithms, including Triple-DES, the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm, the RSA Public Key Cryptosystem, the DSA government signature algorithm, MD5 and SHA1 message digest routines, and more.
Tested Configuration(s)
  • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP3 on VMWare ESXi 6.0.0 running on a Dell R630 with Intel Xeon E5-2620 with PAA (64-bit)
  • SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP3 on VMWare ESXi 6.0.0 running on a Dell R630 with Intel Xeon E5-2620 without PAA (64-bit) (single-user mode)
