1. Cryptographic Module Specification
This document is the non-proprietary FIPS 140-2 Security Policy for version 1.0.0 of the HikSSL
Cryptographic Module. It contains the security rules under which the module must be operated
and describes how this module meets the requirements as specified in FIPS PUB 140-2 (Federal
Information Processing Standards Publication 140-2) for a Security Level 1 module.
The following sections describe the cryptographic module and how it conforms to the FIPS 140-2
specification in each of the required areas.
1.1. Module Overview
The HikSSL Cryptographic Module (hereafter referred to as “the module”) is a set of software
libraries implementing the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol v1.0, v1.1 and v1.2, as well as
general purpose cryptographic algorithms. The module provides cryptographic services to
applications running in the user space of the underlying Linux operating system through a C
language Application Program Interface (API). The module does not use any Processor Algorithm
Acceleration (PAA), but uses specific assembler code implementations for the ARM processors
provided by the OpenSSL code, which optimize and increase performance. The module can act as
a TLS server or TLS client, and interacts with other entities via the TLS network protocol.
The module is implemented as a set of shared libraries; as shown in the diagram below, the
shared library files and the integrity check files used to verify the module's integrity constitute the
logical cryptographic boundary.
The software block diagram in Figure 1 shows the module, its interfaces with the operational
environment and the delimitation of its logical boundary.

Table 1 - Cryptographic Module Components
The module is aimed to run on Network Video Recorder (NVR) and Network Camera devices
including ARMv7 processors running a Linux operating system. Applications, the cryptographic
module itself, and the underlying operating system run within the target hardware platform. The
physical enclosure of the hardware platform constitutes the physical boundary of the module.
1.2. FIPS 140-2 Validation
For the purpose of the FIPS 140-2 validation, the module is a software-only, multi-chip standalone
cryptographic module validated at overall Security Level 1. The table below shows the security
level claimed for each of the eleven sections that comprise the FIPS 140-2 standard.

Table 3 - Tested Platforms
The module does not run on a full-fledged Linux distribution. The vendor trimmed down and
customized the operating system to fit it for the resource-constrained devices within which the
module runs, while keeping the Linux kernel intact.
Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology Co., Ltd. affirms that the module runs correctly on the
following network camera and NVR models:
• Network Cameras: model names starting with DS-2CD2.
• NVRs: DS-96xxNI-Ix and DS-77xxNI-Ix/xxP model names (x characters vary depending on
model).
All of the above vendor affirmed devices have the same processor and operating system as the
ones tested by the accredited Cryptographic Security Testing lab.
Per FIPS 140-2 IG G.5, the CMVP makes no statement as to the correct operation of the module or
the security strengths of the generated keys on the vendor affirmed platforms.
1.3. Modes of operation
The module supports two modes of operation.
• In "FIPS mode" (the Approved mode of operation) only approved or allowed security
functions with sufficient security strength can be used.
• In "non-FIPS mode" (the non-Approved mode of operation) only non-approved security
functions can be used.
The module enters FIPS mode after power-up tests succeed. Once the module is operational, the
mode of operation is implicitly assumed depending on the security function invoked and the
security strength of the cryptographic keys.
Critical security parameters used or stored in FIPS mode are not used in non-FIPS mode, and vice
versa.

2. Cryptographic Module Ports and Interfaces
As a software-only module, the module does not have physical ports. For the purpose of the FIPS
140-2 validation, the physical ports are interpreted to be the physical ports of the hardware
platform on which it runs.
The logical interfaces are the API through which applications request services, and the TLS internal
state and protocol messages sent and received from the underlying network protocol. The
following table summarizes the four logical interfaces:
Logical Interface Description
Data Input API input parameters for data, kernel I/O – network or files on filesystem,
TLS protocol input messages.
Data Output API output parameters for data, kernel I/O – network or files on filesystem,
TLS protocol output messages.
Control Input API function calls, API input parameters for control, TLS protocol internal
state.
Status Output API return codes, API output parameters for status, TLS protocol internal
state provided in protocol messages.

3. Roles, Services and Authentication
3.1. Roles
The module supports the following roles:
• User role: performs all services (in both FIPS mode and non-FIPS mode of operation),
except module installation and configuration. This role is assumed by the calling application
accessing the module.
• Crypto Officer role: performs module installation and configuration.
The User and Crypto Officer roles are implicitly assumed depending on the service requested.
3.2. Services
The module provides services to calling applications that assume the user role, and human users
assuming the Crypto Officer role. All services are shown in Table 5 and Table 6 and described in
detail in the user documentation.
Table 5 shows the Approved services and the non-Approved but allowed services in FIPS mode of
operation, the cryptographic algorithms supported for each service, the roles that can perform
each service, and the public keys and Critical Security Parameters (CSPs) involved and how they
are accessed. The details about the algorithms supported by the module are found in section 3.3.

3.3. Algorithms
The algorithms implemented in the module approved to be used in FIPS mode of operation are
tested and validated by the CAVP. Notice that for the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol, no
parts of this protocol implementation, other than the key derivation function (KDF), have been
tested by the CAVP.
The module provides specific assembler implementations for ARMv7 processors in the AES core,
SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512 and GHASH algorithms, and C language generic implementations for the
rest of the algorithm.
The following table shows the cryptographic algorithms that are approved in FIPS mode of
operation, including the CAVP certificates for different implementations, the algorithm name,
supported standards, available modes and key sizes, and usage. Notice that some information
included in a single column (e.g. CAVP certificates, algorithm name, standard) may be applicable

Table 10 - Life cycle of Keys and Critical Security Parameters (CSP)
The following sections describe how keys and CSPs are managed during its life cycle.
6.1. Random Number Generation
The module employs a Deterministic Random Bit Generator (DRBG) based on [SP800-90A] for the
creation of key components of asymmetric keys, and server and client random numbers for the
TLS protocol. In addition, the module provides a Random Number Generation service to calling
applications.

22 of 39
The DRBG supports the Hash_DRBG, HMAC_DRBG and CTR_DRBG mechanisms. The DRBG is
initialized during module initialization; the module loads by default the DRBG using the CTR_DRBG
mechanism with AES-256 and derivation function without prediction resistance. A different DRBG
mechanism can be chosen through an API function call.
For seeding the DRBG, the module uses a Non-Deterministic Random Number Generator (NDRNG).
The NDRNG is implemented by the cryptographic module and therefore it is within its logical
boundary. The NDRNG provides at least 256 bits of entropy to the DRBG during initialization (seed)
and reseeding (reseed), sufficient for the security strength provided by the DRBG algorithm.
The NDRNG implements a continuous test on the output to ensure that consecutive random
numbers do not repeat. The module performs DRBG health tests as defined in section 11.3 of
[SP800-90A].
6.2. Key Generation
The module does not implement symmetric key generation.
For generating RSA, DSA and ECDSA keys, the module implements asymmetric key generation
services compliant with [FIPS186-4], and using a DRBG compliant with [SP800-90A]. In accordance
with [FIPS140-2_ IG] D.12, the cryptographic module performs Cryptographic Key Generation
(CKG) for asymmetric keys as per [SP800-133] (vendor affirmed).
6.3. Key Agreement / Key Transport / Key Derivation
The module provides Diffie-Hellman and EC Diffie-Hellman key agreement schemes. These key
agreement schemes are also used as part of the TLS protocol key exchange.
The module also provides key wrapping using the AES with KW mode and RSA key encapsulation
using public key encryption and private key decryption primitives as part of the TLS protocol key
exchange.
Table 7 and Table 8 specify the key sizes allowed in FIPS mode of operation. According to “Table 2:
Comparable strengths” in [SP 800-57], the key sizes of RSA, Diffie-Hellman and EC Diffie-Hellman
provide the following security strength:
• AES key wrapping provides between 128 and 256 bits of encryption strength.
• RSA key encapsulation provides between 112 and 128 bits of encryption strength.
• Diffie-Hellman key agreement provides between 112 and 128 bits of encryption strength.
• EC Diffie-Hellman key agreement provides between 128 and 256 bits of encryption
strength.
The module supports key derivation for the TLS protocol. The module implements the pseudo-
random functions (PRF) for TLSv1.0/1.1 and TLSv1.2 in accordance with [SP800-135].
6.4. Key Entry / Output
The module does not support manual key entry or intermediate key generation key output. The
keys are provided to the module via API input parameters in plaintext form and output via API
output parameters in plaintext form. The module does not enter or output keys in plaintext format
outside its physical boundary.
6.5. Key / CSP Storage
Symmetric keys, HMAC keys, public and private keys are provided to the module by the calling
application via API input parameters, and are destroyed by the module when invoking the
appropriate API function calls.

The module does not perform persistent storage of keys. The keys and CSPs are stored as
plaintext in the RAM. The only exception is the HMAC key used for integrity test, which is stored in
the module and relies on the operating system for protection.
6.6. Key / CSP Zeroization
The memory occupied by keys is allocated by regular memory allocation operating system calls.
The application is responsible for calling the appropriate zeroization functions provided in the
module's API, and documented in the API documentation. Also, calling the corresponding
zeroization functions for TLS protocol sessions will zeroize the keys and CSPs stored in the TLS
protocol internal state.
The zeroization functions overwrite the memory occupied by keys and CSPs with “zeros” and
deallocate the memory with the regular memory deallocation operating system call.

8. Self Tests
8.1. Power-Up Tests
The module performs power-up self-tests when the module is loaded into memory, without
operator intervention. Power-up self-tests ensure that the module is not corrupted and that the
cryptographic algorithms work as expected.
While the module is executing the power-up self-tests, services are not available, and input and
output are inhibited. The module is not available to be used by the calling application until the
power-up self-tests are completed successfully.
If any power-up test fails, the module returns the error code listed in Table 13 and displays the
specific error message associated with the returned error code, and then enters error state. The
subsequent calls to the module will also fail - thus no further cryptographic operations are
possible. If the power-up tests complete successfully, the module will return 1 in the return code
and will accept cryptographic operation service requests.
Integrity Tests
The integrity of the module is verified by comparing an HMAC-SHA-256 value calculated at run
time with the HMAC value stored in the .hmac file that was computed at build time for each
software component of the module. If the HMAC values do not match, the test fails and the module
enters the error state.
Cryptographic algorithm tests
The module performs self-tests on all FIPS-Approved cryptographic algorithms supported in the
approved mode of operation, using the Known Answer Tests (KAT) and Pair-wise Consistency Tests
(PCT) shown in the following table.
Algorithm Test
AES • KAT AES(ECB) with 128-bit key, encryption
• KAT AES(ECB) with 128-bit key, decryption
• KAT AES(CCM) with 192-bit key, encryption
• KAT AES(CCM) with 192-bit key, decryption

KAS FFC • Primitive “Z” Computation KAT with 2048-bit key
Table 11- Self-Tests
For KATs, the module calculates the result and compares it with the known value. If the answer
does not match the known answer, the KAT fails and the module enters the Error state. For PCTs, if
the signature generation or verification fails, the module enters the Error state.
8.2. On-Demand self-tests
On-Demand self-tests can be invoked by powering-off and reloading the module, thus forcing the
module to run the power-up self-tests.
8.3. Conditional Tests
The module performs conditional tests on the cryptographic algorithms using Pair-wise
Consistency Tests (PCT) and Continuous Random Number Generator Test (CRNGT), as shown in
the following table.

9. Guidance
9.1. Crypto Officer Guidance
The module is a software-only cryptographic module delivered as part of the firmware installed in
the hardware device. The firmware includes the operating system, user applications and the
module itself.
For hardware devices that do not include the module, a firmware upgrade will be necessary. The
firmware is signed by the publisher using an RSA private key. After the upgrade and during boot
time, the new firmware signature and the publisher’s certificate are verified by the device.
Prerequisites
The Crypto Officer will download the firmware published by Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology
Co., Ltd. and will follow the documented procedures for upgrading the firmware.
Module installation
The module is installed as part of a firmware upgrade in the device. The Crypto Officer must follow
the instructions provided in the device’s User manual.
9.2. User Guidance
In order to run in FIPS Approved mode of operation, the Module must be operated using the FIPS
approved services, with their corresponding FIPS approved or FIPS allowed cryptographic
algorithms provided in this Security Policy (see section 3.2 Services). In addition, key sizes must
comply with [SP800-131A].
As explained in section 1.1, the module is provided as a set of shared libraries. Applications must
link the module dynamically to run the module in FIPS approved mode.
The application can query whether the FIPS operation is active by calling FIPS_mode() and it can
query whether an integrity check or KAT self test failed by calling FIPS_selftest_failed().
API Functions
Passing “0” to the FIPS_mode_set() API function is prohibited.
Replacement of the standard memory management functions (e.g. using the
CRYPTO_set_mem_functions() API function) is prohibited.
TLS
The TLS protocol implementation provides both server and client sides. In order to operate in FIPS
approved mode of operation, digital certificates and private keys used for server and client
authentication shall comply with the restrictions of key size and message digest algorithms
imposed by [SP800-131A]. In addition, as required also by [SP800-131A], Diffie-Hellman with keys
smaller than 2048 bits must not be used.
For complying with the requirement of not allowing Diffie-Hellman key sizes smaller than 2048
bits, the Crypto Officer must ensure that:
• in case the module is used as a TLS server, the Diffie-Hellman parameters (dh argument) of
the SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh() API function must be 2048 bits or larger;
• in case the module is used as a TLS client, the TLS server must be configured to only offer
Diffie-Hellman keys of 2048 bits or larger.

29 of 39
Note: the TLS protocol lacks the support to negotiate the used Diffie-Hellman key sizes. Because of
this, the TLS client implementation of the Module accepts Diffie-Hellman key sizes smaller than
2048 bits offered by the TLS server to ensure full support for all TLS protocol versions. Therefore,
the calling application using the module must always set the DH parameters using the
SSL_CTX_set_tmp_dh() API function in order to comply with [SP800-131A].
Random Number Generator
The RAND_cleanup() API function must not be used. Invoking this function will clean up the internal
DRBG state. This call also replaces the DRBG instance with the non-FIPS approved SSLeay
Deterministic Random Number Generator when using the RAND_* API functions.
AES GCM IV
AES GCM encryption and decryption is used in the context of the TLS protocol version 1.2. The
module is compliant with [SP 800-52] and the mechanism for IV generation is compliant with
[RFC5288]. The operations of one of the two parties involved in the TLS key establishment scheme
are performed entirely within the cryptographic boundary of the module.
In case the module’s power is lost and then restored, the key used for AES GCM encryption or
decryption shall be re-distributed.
AES XTS
The AES algorithm in XTS mode can be only used for the cryptographic protection of data on
storage devices, as specified in [SP800-38E]. The length of a single data unit encrypted with the
XTS-AES shall not exceed 2²⁰ AES blocks that is 16MB of data. To meet the requirement in
[FIPS140-2_IG] A.9, the module implements a check to ensure that the two AES keys used in XTS-
AES algorithm are not identical.
Triple-DES Keys
Data encryption using the same three-key Triple-DES key shall not exceed 228 Triple-DES blocks
(2GB of data), in accordance to [SP800-67] and IG A.13 in [FIPS140-2-IG].
Handling FIPS Related Errors
When the module fails any self-test or conditional test, the module returns an error code to
indicate the error and enters the error state, in which any further cryptographic operation is not
allowed and output is inhibited. The table below shows the error codes and the event that produce
the error.
Error Code / Message Error Event
FIPS_R_FINGERPRINT_DOES_NOT_MATCH (111) The Integrity Test fails at power-up.
FIPS_R_SELFTEST_FAILED (134) When any of the AES, Triple-DES, SHA-1,
SHA-512 KATs fails at power-up.
FIPS_R_TEST_FAILURE (137) When any of the RSA KATs, or the
ECDSA or DSA PCTs fails at power-up.
FIPS_R_NOPR_TEST1_FAILURE (145) When any of the DRBG KATs fails at
power-up.

any cryptographic operation is called
FIPS_R_SELFTEST_FAILED (134)
FIPS_R_AES_XTS_WEAK_KEY (201) When the AES key and tweak keys for
XTS-AES are the same
Table 13 - Error Codes and Messages
These errors are reported through the regular ERR interface of the modules and can be queried by
functions such as ERR_get_error(). See the API documentation for the function description.
When the module is in the error state and the application calls a crypto function of the module
that cannot return an error in normal circumstances (void return functions), the error message:
“FATAL FIPS SELFTEST FAILURE” is printed to stderr and the application is terminated with the
abort() call. The only way to recover from this error is to restart the application. If the failure
persists, the module must be reinstalled.
