BlackBerry Linux Kernel Cryptographic Module

Certificate details

Certificate ID #2728
Status historical
Historical reason Moved to historical list due to sunsetting
Validation dates 29.08.2016
Standard FIPS 140-2
Security level 1
Type Software
Embodiment Multi-Chip Stand Alone
Caveat When operated in FIPS mode and installed, initialized and configured as specified in the Security Policy Appendix C
Exceptions
  • Physical Security: N/A
  • Mitigation of Other Attacks: N/A
Description The BlackBerry Linux Kernel Cryptographic Module is a software-only external Linux Kernel module that provides general-purpose cryptographic services to the remainder of the kernel. The BlackBerry Linux Kernel Cryptographic Module expands the secure capabilities and features BlackBerry is known for, to devices running operating systems other than the BlackBerry OS.
Tested configurations
  • Android 5.1 64-bit running on a Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8992 development device (single-user mode)
  • CentOS 7 64-bit running on a Kontron NSN2U IP Network Server with AES-NI
  • CentOS 7 64-bit running on a Kontron NSN2U IP Network Server without AES-NI

Automated analysis

Automated inference - use with caution

All attributes shown in this section (e.g., links between certificates, products, vendors, and known CVEs) are generated by automated heuristics and have not been reviewed by humans. These methods can produce false positives or false negatives and should not be treated as definitive without independent verification. This applies equally to the Cross-references section below. If you want to know more about how this data is computed and how reliable it is, see our documentation on automated analysis. If you believe any information here is inaccurate or harmful, please submit feedback.

No automatically derived data are available in this section.
