SunJCE compliant to FIPS-140-2 standard or not?

Hi Folks,
I am using encryption/ decryption (DES and AES) in my project .
For that I am using javax.crypto and javax.crypto.spec package and the security provider used is SUNJCE.
Please let me know whether JDK is compliant to the FIPS 140-2 standard or not. If it is compliant , also let me know from which version of JDK onwards it will compliant to that standard.
Look forward your reply soon.
Thanks

Hi ,
Thanks for your immediate response. I really appriciate that.
I search in the google and found that IBM's versions of JSSE and JCE have been FIPS 140-2 certified, and are FIPS 140-2 compliant.
I can see the same in the below link
http://csrc.nist.gov/cryptval/140-1/1401vend.htm
And I didn't see the SunJCE in the above link and it seems that Sun's versions of JSSE and JCE are not FIPS 140-2 cmpliant.
Also I see the link which you have pointed out in the earlier, it seems JCE of JDK1.6 is compliant to FIPS 140-2.
I am really confused, Please let me know your thoughts on that.
Look forward your response.
Thanks

  • Is PhoneFactor compliant with FIPS 140-2 Security Level 1?

    Hi, I'm looking for a "hard token" two-factor authentication solution for a medical application.  I have a firm external requirement that the hard token used must "meet FIPS 140-2 Security Level 1 for cryptographic devices." 
    Given that a cell phone is not a cryptographic device, per se, can I assume that use of PhoneFactor would not meet this requirement?  Or would it?
    Thanks,

    Windows Azure Multi-Factor Authentication (formerly PhoneFactor) has not been FIPS 140-2 certified because FIPS 140-2 doesn't apply to the solution.
    Has there been any updates on expanding Azure and getting it FIPS 140-2 certified?

  • FIPS 140

    Does anybody have experience with this security standard? We have a combination of mobile vehicles and fixed sites on a test grid. All are using either BR350's or WGB350's. We have 3 towers with one tower accessing the post LAN. All towers are using BR350's set up in root mode. The backbone between the towers are using Proxim QuickBridge 60's (1400 series were not available at the time).
    We are planning on setting up more grids in the future, but need to comply with the FIPS 140-2 standard. Any DOD expertise out there?
    Thanks

  • Error when installing certificate - FIPS-140 compliance.

    Hi,
    I am having an issue installing a certificate on my LaserJet M750 printer.  The error is: "The cryptographic algorithms used in the ID or CA certificate do not comply with FIPS-140."
    We can recreate the issue by: 
    converting cert and key to pfx
    selecting "Networking"
    login
    selecting "Certificates"
    selecting "Configure under Jetdirect Certificate".
    selecting "Import Certificate and Private Key".

    provide password and select finish.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.  I can provide more information if necessary.

  • Are JSSE or JCE FIPS 140 compliant ?

    I have looked throught as much documentation as I can handle trying to find out if these packages are FIPS 140 compliant. I cannot find anything. I have looked at the web page http://csrc.nist.gov/cryptval/140-1/140val-all.htm and do not see anything from Sun as being approved. This is unfortunate and suprising to me that Sun has not put their own code through the approval process. Therefore I am unable to use the JSSE and JCE, and must use RSA BSAFE, which costs a fortune.
    Can anyone shed some light on this topic.
    ...Thank you.

    I looked into this issue extensively last fall as we have a requirement
    to use a NIST certified encryption algorithm. At that time, the
    descriptions of Cert#s 247 & 248 in the table at
    http://csrc.nist.gov/cryptval/140-1/140val-all.htm looked very
    different. In fact, a reference to
    http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/ appeared in the
    description as a means of obtaining a copy of NSS. I downloaded a
    version of NSS and attempted to use it (along with the JSS package
    also available at the mozilla site). After experimenting with NSS and
    JSS for some time, I just could not get it to work (can't recall now
    exactly what the issues were at that time).
    We abandoned the NSS approach with the expectation of obtaining a
    temporary exemption of this requirement; however, this requirement has
    now come full circle and is back on my plate. If we have to purchase
    a third-party tool, so be it; however, it would sure be nice to hear
    from the source exactly what, if anything, is occurring with regards
    to NIST certification. Thanks.

  • SafeGuard PrivateDisk FIPS 140-2 compliant?

    Hello. Got a new client that needs a laptop that complies with FIPS 140-2. It appears that SafeGuard Easy has indeed been awarded the necessary validation but I can't figure out if Thinkvantage's PrivateDisk is compliant as well.
    Is there a ThinkPad (with or without ThinkVantage) available that utilizies certified 140-2 encryption?
    Thanks

    I believe that the UC500 itself is not certified, but all the components that make it (IOS, IPSEC, encrypted voice, etc) are there and are certified.

  • Java 8 64 bit on Windows with NSS for FIPS 140 compliance

    I have asked this question on Stackoverflow but I am beginning to think that this may be a better forum to ask.
    According to JEP 131, Java 8 should provide a PKCS#11 Crypto provider for 64 bit Windows:  https://blogs.oracle.com/mullan/entry/jep_131_pkcs_11_crypto.
    With that in mind, I downloaded and built both 32 and 64 bit versions of NSS with NSPR using these instructions:  https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/NSS_Sources_Building_Testing
    I downloaded Java 8 for Windows 64 build b118, configured the java.security file and created a nss.cfg file:
    Excerpt from java.security file:
    security.provider.1=sun.security.provider.Sun
    security.provider.2=sun.security.rsa.SunRsaSign
    security.provider.3=sun.security.ec.SunEC
    security.provider.4=com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider SunPKCS11-NSS
    security.provider.5=com.sun.crypto.provider.SunJCE
    security.provider.6=sun.security.jgss.SunProvider
    security.provider.7=com.sun.security.sasl.Provider
    security.provider.8=org.jcp.xml.dsig.internal.dom.XMLDSigRI
    security.provider.9=sun.security.smartcardio.SunPCSC
    security.provider.10=sun.security.pkcs11.SunPKCS11 /devel/nss.cfg
    From my nss.cfg file:
    # Use NSS as a FIPS-140 compliant cryptographic token
    # SunPKCS11-NSS
    name = NSS
    #32 bit
    #nssLibraryDirectory = C:\devel\nss\nss-3.15.3.1\dist\WINNT6.1_DBG.OBJ\lib
    #64 bit
    nssLibraryDirectory = C:\devel\nss\nss-3.15.3.1\dist\WINNT6.1_64_DBG.OBJ\lib
    #non FIPS
    #nssDbMode = noDb
    #attributes = compatibility
    #FIPS
    nssSecmodDirectory = c:\devel\fipsdb
    nssModule = fips
    I ran the test suite that comes with NSS and it looks like all of the encryption/decryption tests passed (did have some issues with the tests that required hostname/domainname but that has to do with the Windows environment).
    So here is the problem. I run my test encryption app on Java 7 32 bit with the 32 bit version of NSS and everything works great. When I attempt to run Java 8 64 bit with 64 bit NSS I get the following error:
    java.security.ProviderException: Could not initialize NSS

    Had a few similar short system freezes, after installing Windows 8 x64 on 13” MacBook Pro Mid-2010 with BootCamp 5.0.5033.
    There is a suggestion that DisableDynamicTick may fix the problem: https://discussions.apple.com/message/21565295#21565295. There were similar topics at Microsoft forums: 1, 2, 3. It was said “that this will likely reduce system battery life, so it should be undone when you update your Windows build or if it doesn't resolve your issue”, and that “this problem is resolved in the release versions of Windows 8”.
    Another possibility is that there is indeed a buggy driver, within BootCamp 5.0.5033, or a 3rd party, like a wireless network driver in the following case http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-performance/system-fr eeze-randomly-after-installing-windows-8/49488183-26cf-4389-af21-a85dc366c99a?pa ge=2#LastReply.
    The problem has been noticeable on my MacBook, but not annoying enough yet to spend time troubleshooting. If you find a robust solution, using the links above or other method, it would be interesting to know.

  • FIPS 140-1 and FIPS 140-2 cryptographic module certification

    Has Apple submitted its 128-bit AES encryption module to the Cryptographic Standards and Validation Programs at NIST for certification? If so, and even if under another vendor's name, has it been certified and thus could I have the validation certificate # and module name?
    I work for a Federal agency that requires that on-disk encryption of protected information be done so with a FIPS 140 certified module in FIPS 140-compliant operation. I fear having to stop using my Macintoshes and having to switch to Windows XP in order to comply.

    Hi, Courtney. Welcome to the Discussions.

  • Lync FIPS 140-2 encryption for Data in Transit Certificate?

    I work for an organization that has deployed Lync 2013 throughout the enterprise. 
    We have no need for “Data at Rest” encryption on the servers or clients at this time, but we do have a customer requirement for FIPS 140-2 encryption for “Data in Transit”?  Does Lync provide data in transit encryption utilizing one of the National

  • NSS FIPS 140-2 encryption for Glassfish App Server on Windows

    We would like to configure Java such that our web service communications will be encrypted in a manner that is FIPS 140-2 compliant.
    I see here that Sun has achieved success in compliance testing in conjunction with the NSS libraries from Mozilla:
    http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/STM/cmvp/documents/140-1/1401val2007.htm#814
    I found Andrea's excellent blog which took me through steps in setting up the ..\jre\lib\security\java.security file and in setting up the nss.cfg file:
    http://blogs.sun.com/andreas/entry/elliptic_curve_cryptography_in_java
    However, when I go to the download of Mozilla \ NSS the latest releases only provide the C code tar bundles. The latest release that provided the binaries for Windows was 3.11 and that was for Windows NT.
    ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/security/nss/releases/NSS_3_11_RTM/
    I was therefore hoping that someone might have a step-by-step such that I could create these binaries for Windows XP and Windows Vista. Or even better someone might know of a site where I could download them.
    Other information: Our installation of Glassfish also has Metro installed.
    Thanks for any help or advice.

    http://www.oracle.com/technology/deploy/security/seceval/oracle-fips140-validations.html.
    This is the linked to certificate which applies to Oracle Cryptographic Libraries for SSL.

    I have found nothing that includes DBMS_CRYPTO under Oracle Cryptographic Libraries for SSL. This link might imply that it is not, but I am unclear what might apply to DBMS_CRYPTO.

    Is Oracle Advanced Security’s SSL adapter also included in this FIPS evaluation?
    No. Oracle SSL libraries that is only included in Oracle Application Server 10g (9.0.4) alone has received this FIPS 140-2 certification. We are considering evaluation of the Oracle SSL libraries included in the Oracle Database at the earliest.
    So in summary, it appears that Oracle has gone through the work to certify the Java libraries, but not the PL/SQL library.
    TIA

    The best source of Oracle online documentation is http://tahiti.oracle.com.
    If you go there and search, I did it under 10gR2, for "FIPS" you will find a tremendous amount of material with respect to the Oracle Database and FIPS.
    And unless I misunderstand your question you are totally incorrect.
    The Oracle database is in full compliance with FIPS 127-2.
