1 HP-UX Kernel Cryptographic Module 2.1 Release Notes Announcements HP-UX KCM is a common cryptographic library in HP-UX Kernel. It is a library of core cryptographic algorithms, which are used by HP-UX Kernel products. HP-UX KCM is available on HP-UX Kernel as a dynamically loadable library with well-defined interfaces to invoke the crypto functions. This helps to bring modularity and standardization in the usage of crypto algorithms across the HP-UX kernel products.
◦ Asymmetric key algorithm – ◦ Random Number Generation – • NIST SP 800-90A compliant DRBG The following algorithms are implemented for continued supportability and maintainability of the existing products ◦ Digest algorithm – ◦ ◦ ◦ SHA-1 Keyed hash algorithm – • RSA-2048 HMAC-SHA-1 Symmetric Key algorithm – AES-128 in CFB Mode – AES-192 CFB – AES 256 CFB Asymmetric key algorithm – RSA-1024 – RSA-1536 The interfaces supported by the library follows RSA Security Inc.
