1. Introduction
This document is the non-proprietary security policy for the Gallagher OpenSSL Cryptographic Module, hereafter
referred to as the Module.
The Module is a software library providing a C language application program interface (API) for use by other
processes that require cryptographic functionality. The Module is classified by FIPS 140-2 as a software module,
multichip standalone module embodiment. The physical cryptographic boundary is the general-purpose computer on
which the module is installed. The logical cryptographic boundary of the Module is the fipscanister object module, a
single object module file named fipscanister.o. The Module performs no communications other than with the calling
application (the process that invokes the Module services).
The FIPS 140-2 security levels for the Module are as follows:
Security Requirements Section Level

Cryptographic Module Ports and Interfaces 1
Roles and Services and Authentication 2

2. Ports and Interfaces
The physical ports of the Module are the same as the computer system on which it is executing. The logical
interface is a C language API.
Logical Interface Type Description
Control Input API entry point and corresponding stack parameters
Data Input API entry point data input stack parameters
Status Output API entry point return values and status stack parameters
Data Output API Entry point data output stack parameters
Table 2: Logical Interfaces
As a software module, control of the physical ports is outside module scope. However, when the module is
performing self-tests, or is in an error state, all output on the logical data output interface is inhibited. The module
is single-threaded and in error scenarios returns only an error value (no data output is returned).

The module’s IV is generated internally by the module’s Approved DRBG. The DRBG seed is generated inside the module’s physical boundary. The IV is 96-bits in
length per NIST SP 800-38D, Section 8.2.2 and FIPS 140-2 IG A.5 scenario 2. The selection of the IV construction method is the responsibility of the user of this
cryptographic module. In approved mode, users of the module must not utilize GCM with an externally generated IV. The only approved use of GCM is with
TLS and with a randomly generated IV.
Gallagher OpenSSL Cryptographic Module Security Policy
Page 8 of 22
For all CSPs and Public Keys:
Storage: RAM, associated to entities by memory location. The Module stores DRBG state values for the lifetime of
the DRBG instance. The module uses CSPs passed in by the calling application on the stack. The Module does not
store any CSP persistently (beyond the lifetime of an API call), with the exception of DRBG state values used for
the Modules' default key generation service.
Generation: The Module implements SP 800-90A compliant DRBG services for creation of symmetric keys, and for
generation of DSA, elliptic curve, and RSA keys as shown in Table 3. The calling application is responsible for
storage of generated keys returned by the module. For operation in the Approved mode, Module users (the
calling applications) shall use entropy sources that contain at least 112 bits of entropy. To ensure full DRBG
strength, the entropy sources must meet or exceed the security strengths shown in the table below:
DRBG Type Underlying Algorithm Minimum Seed Entropy
Hash_DRBG or HMAC_DRBG
SHA-1 128
SHA-224 192
SHA-256 256
SHA-384 256
SHA-512 256
CTR_DRBG
AES-128 128
AES-192 192
AES-256 256
Table 8 - DRBG Entropy Requirements
Entry: All CSPs enter the Module’s logical boundary in plaintext as API parameters, associated by memory
location. However, none cross the physical boundary.
Output: The Module does not output CSPs, other than as explicit results of key generation services. However,
none cross the physical boundary.
Destruction: Zeroization of sensitive data is performed automatically by API function calls for temporarily stored
CSPs. In addition, the module provides functions to explicitly destroy CSPs related to random number generation
services. The calling application is responsible for parameters passed in and out of the module.
Private and secret keys as well as seeds and entropy input are provided to the Module by the calling application,
and are destroyed when released by the appropriate API function calls. Keys residing in internally allocated data
structures (during the lifetime of an API call) can only be accessed using the Module defined API. The operating
system protects memory and process space from unauthorized access. Only the calling application that creates or
imports keys can use or export such keys. All API functions are executed by the invoking calling application in a
non-overlapping sequence such that no two API functions will execute concurrently. An authorized application as
user (Crypto Officer and User) has access to all key data generated during the operation of the Module.
Use: In the case of AES-GCM, the IV generation method is user selectable and the value can be computed in more
than one manner.
Gallagher OpenSSL Cryptographic Module Security Policy
Page 9 of 22
Following RFC 5288 for TLS, the module ensures that it's strictly increasing and thus cannot repeat. When the IV
exhausts the maximum number of possible values for a given session key, the first party, client or server, to
encounter this condition may either trigger a handshake to establish a new encryption key in accordance with RFC
5246, or fail. In either case, the module prevents and IV duplication and thus enforces the security property.
In the event Module power is lost and restored the calling application must ensure that any AES-GCM keys used
for encryption or decryption are redistributed.
The calling application shall ensure that the same Triple-DES key is not used to encrypt more than 216
64-bit blocks
of data.
Gallagher OpenSSL Cryptographic Module Security Policy
Page 10 of 22
4. Roles, Authentication and Services
The Module implements the required User and Crypto Officer roles and requires authentication for those roles.
Only one role may be active at a time and the Module does not allow concurrent operators. The User or Crypto
Officer role is assumed by passing the appropriate password to the FIPS_module_mode_set() function. The
password values may be specified at build time and must have a minimum length of 16 characters. Any attempt to
authenticate with an invalid password will result in an immediate and permanent failure condition rendering the
Module unable to enter the FIPS mode of operation, even with subsequent use of a correct password.
Authentication data is loaded into the Module during the Module build process, performed by the Crypto Officer,
and otherwise cannot be accessed.
Since minimum password length is 16 characters, the probability of a random successful authentication attempt in
one try is a maximum of 1/25616
, or less than 1/1038
. The Module permanently disables further authentication
attempts after a single failure, so this probability is independent of time.
Both roles have access to all of the services provided by the Module.
• User Role (User): Loading the Module and calling any of the API functions.
• Crypto Officer Role (CO): Installation of the Module on the host computer system and calling of any API
functions.
All services implemented by the Module are listed below, along with a description of service CSP access. The
access types are determined as follows:
- Generate (G): Generates the Critical Security Parameter (CSP_ using an approved Random Bit Generator
- Read (R): Export the CSP
- Write (W): Enter/establish and store a CSP
- Destroy (D): Overwrite the CSP
- Execute (E): Employ the CSP
- None: No access to CSP’s

Table 10: Power On Self-Tests
The Module is installed using one of the set of instructions in Appendix A, as appropriate for the target system.
The HMAC-SHA-1 of the Module distribution file as tested by the CMT Laboratory and listed in Appendix A is
verified during installation of the Module file as described in Appendix A.
Per IG 9.10, the Module implements a default entry point and automatically runs the FIPS self-tests upon startup.
The module has a function called FIPS_module_mode_set() within the init code that is automatically set to enable
“FIPS Mode” by default. When the Gallagher OpenSSL Cryptographic Module is initialized, it will always run its
power-on self-tests meeting the IG 9.10 requirement.
The module also has a Boolean check value to verify whether the module has run its power-on self-tests upon
subsequent instantiations. If the module is determined to have already run its power-on self-tests, future
instantiations will only run the power-up integrity test and not the full set of POST’s. If power is lost to the
module, the Boolean check value “1” is zeroized and the module will run its power-up self-tests again to verify the
correctness of the module operation. Upon successful completion of the POST’s, the Boolean check value is
restored. This is consistent with the requirement described in IG 9.11.

DRBG Tested as required by [SP80090A] Section 11
DRBG FIPS 140-2 continuous test for stuck fault
NDRNG FIPS 140-2 continuous test for NDRNG
DSA Pairwise consistency test on each generation of a key pair
ECDSA Pairwise consistency test on each generation of a key pair
RSA Pairwise consistency test on each generation of a key pair
Table 11: Conditional Self-Tests
In the event of a DRBG self-test failure the calling application must un-instantiate and re-instantiate the DRBG per
the requirements of [SP 800-90A]; this is not something the Module can do itself.
Pairwise consistency tests are performed for both possible modes of use, e.g. Sign/Verify and Encrypt/Decrypt.

6. Operational Environment
The tested operating systems segregate user processes into separate process spaces. Each process space is
logically separated from all other processes by the operating system software and hardware. The Module
functions entirely within the process space of the calling application, and implicitly satisfies the FIPS 140-2
requirement for a single user mode ofoperation.
6.1 Tested Configurations
The module was tested in the following configurations.
Version Operating System Hardware Platform and Processor Optimizations
