Standard

FIPS 140-3

Status

Active

Sunset Date

1/16/2027

Overall Level

1

Caveat

Interim Validation. When operated in approved mode. The module generates SSPs (e.g., keys) whose strengths are modified by available entropy

• Physical security: N/A
• Non-invasive security: N/A

Module Type

Software

Embodiment

Multi-Chip Stand Alone

Description

The Bouncy Castle FIPS Java API is a comprehensive suite of FIPS Approved algorithms implemented in pure Java. All key sizes and modes have been implemented to allow flexibility and efficiency, and additional algorithms are available in non-approved operation as well.
