Module Name
ACE Encryption Engine
Historical Reason
RNG SP800-131A Revision 1 Transition
Caveat
When operated in FIPS mode
Embodiment
Multi-chip standalone
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
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)
