Description
The ACE Encryption Engine allows virtual machines to be encapsulated into files which can be saved, copied, and provisioned. VMware Software Cryptographic Implementation is the kernel implementation that enables the VMware ACE application to perform its cryptographic functions such as hashing, encryption, digital signing, etc.
Tested Configuration(s)
  • Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate (single-user mode)
  • Microsoft Windows XP Professional with SP2
Approved Algorithms
AES Certs. #533 and #534
DSA Cert. #220
HMAC Certs. #280 and #281
RNG Certs. #306 and #307
RSA Cert. #241
SHS Certs. #603 and #604
Triple-DES Cert. #536
Other Algorithms
Diffie-Hellman (key agreement; non-compliant); DSA signature generation (non-compliant); MD5; RSA (key wrapping; key establishment methodology provides between 112 and 150 bits of encryption strength; non-compliant less than 112 bits of encryption strength); RSA (sign/verify 512 bits; non-compliant)
