Module Name
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 Kernel Cryptographic API
Caveat
When operated in approved mode. No assurance of minimum security of SSPs (e.g., keys, bit strings) that are externally loaded, or of SSPs established with externally loaded SSPs. The module generates random strings whose strengths are modified by available entropy.
Security Level Exceptions
- Physical security: N/A
- Non-invasive security: N/A
- Mitigation of other attacks: N/A
Embodiment
Multi-Chip Stand Alone
Description
The Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 Kernel Cryptographic API provides a C language API for use by other (kernel space and user space) processes that require cryptographic functionality
