FIPS 140-2

SECURITY REQUIREMENTS FOR CRYPTOGRAPHIC MODULES

CA Directory r12 and later utilizes an embedded cryptographic module that has been validated as meeting the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2 Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules. This module (RSA BSAFE® Crypto-C ME) provides all of the cryptographic services in the CA Product. The validation certificate number for this module is #608.

FIPS 186-2

DIGITAL SIGNATURE STANDARD (DSS) 2000 January 27

CA Directory r12 and later utilizes an embedded cryptographic module (RSA BSAFE® Crypto-C ME) that has been validated as meeting FIPS 140-2 Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules.

 

The validation for FIPS140-2 includes certification of DSA (Cert. #143); RNG (Cert. #130); ECDSA (Cert. #11). These algorithms are required by FIPS 186 and hence supports the implementation of a DSS solution.
