Cryptographic Modules

FIPS compliance requires the clear definition of modules that perform cryptographic functions. The following modules are present on the supported Acme Packet platforms.

  • OpenSSL — This software module provides cryptographic functions to include SHA-256 hashing, SHA-256 HMAC, and RNG via the Hash_DRBG method.
  • Mocana — This software module provides cryptographic functions to include FIPS 186-4 RSA key generation, signature generation, and signature verification, as well as SHA-2 and SP 800-90A DRBG.
  • Cavium Nitrox PX1620
  • Cavium Octeon CN688X

Note:

Cryptographic modules are described in detail in the relevant Oracle Security Policy documents.

Cryptographic Hardware Accleration

Cryptographic hardware acceleration is supported on the Acme Packet 4600 and Acme Packet 6300 platforms for AES, TDES, RSA, SHA, and HMAC-SHA.
