Multi-Chip Stand Alone
Description
The Bouncy Castle FIPS Java API is a comprehensive suite of FIPS Approved algorithms implemented in pure Java. All key sizes and modes have been implemented to allow flexibility and efficiency, and additional algorithms are available in non-approved operation as well.
Tested Configuration(s)
  • Vmware Photon OS 2.0 with JDK 11 on Vmware ESXi 6.7 running on Dell PowerEdge R830 with Intel Xeon E5 (single-user mode)
  • Vmware Photon OS 2.0 with JDK 7 on Vmware ESXi 6.7 running on Dell PowerEdge R830 with Intel Xeon E5
  • Vmware Photon OS 2.0 with JDK 8 on Vmware ESXi 6.7 running on Dell PowerEdge R830 with Intel Xeon E5
