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.
