Module description
Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.
The IBM Java JCE (Java Cryptographic Extension) FIPS provider (IBMJCEFIPS) for Multi-platforms is a scalable, multipurpose cryptographic module that supports many FIPS approved cryptographic operations. This gives Java applications access to the FIPS algorithms via the standard JCE framework that is part of all JVM's at the 1.4.0 level and higher.
Approved algorithms (7)
Other algorithms
Diffie-Hellman (key agreement); MD5
Tested configurations
- Windows XP Professional using IBM JVM 1.4.2 (single-user mode)
