HP-UX Kernel Cryptographic Module

Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LP - FIPS 140 #2079

historicalLevel 1

HP-UX Kernel Crypto Module (HP-UX KCM) is a kernel-space crypto engine in the HP-UX operating system containing core cryptographic algorithms and operations in a single shared library. It implements asymmetric, symmetric, and digest operations that are used by HP-UX security solutions. HP-UX KCM is available on HP-UX 11i v3 operating system on the HPE Integrity Platform and the HPE Portable HP-UX Platform.
