Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The Cloakware Security Kernel from Cloakware, Inc. is a module contained in a single library designed to provide cryptographic functionality within calling applications operating on multi-chip standard server platforms. This single library is linked at run-time to a C/C++ library, which can be called by host applications to provide cryptographic services. This library can also be dynamically loaded at runtime by a Java application running within a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) via Java Native Interface (JNI), providing cryptographic services to the Java application.
Approved algorithms (7)
