Oracle Solaris Userland Cryptographic Framework with SPARC T4 and SPARC T5
Oracle Corporation - FIPS 140 #2076
The Oracle Solaris OS utilizes two cryptographic modules; one in the Userland space and the second in the Kernel space. The OS uses the Oracle Solaris Userland Cryptographic Framework module for cryptographic functionality for any applications running in user space. It exposes PKCS#11 APIs, uCrypto APIs, and libmd public interfaces to provide cryptography to any application designed to utilize them. The module includes the SPARC T4 and SPARC T5 processor special instruction sets for hardware-accelerated cryptography.
