Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
A secure rendering plug-in that provides AES encryption of print data from the host through a print server with the AES encrypted data continuing on to a Lexmark decryption-enabled device. The rendering plug-in uses the Lexmark device's public key such that only the target device will be able to decrypt the data.
Approved algorithms (4)
Other algorithms
RSA (key wrapping; key establishment methodology provides 112 bits of encryption strength)
Tested configurations
- Windows XP SP2 (single-user mode)
