Module description
The PGP SDK Cryptographic Module is a FIPS 140-2 validated software only cryptographic module. The module implements the cryptographic functions for PGP products including: PGP Whole Disk Encryption, PGP NetShare, PGP Command Line, PGP Universal, and PGP Desktop. It includes a wide range of field-tested and standards-based encryption, digital signature, and encoding algorithms as well as a variety of secure network protocol implementations. The PGP SDK offers developers this same cryptographic library that is at the heart of PGP products.
