The SiteMinder Agent supports the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2 specification. FIPS-140 specifies the requirements for using cryptographic algorithms within a security system protecting sensitive, unclassified data.
SiteMinder can operate in a pre-FIPS mode or in a FIPS-only mode. The cryptographic boundaries, that is, the way SiteMinder applies encryption, are the same in both modes, but the algorithms are different.
In FIPS-only mode, SiteMinder uses the following algorithms:
The SiteMinder Agent makes extensive use of encrypted data, encrypting the following:
