Type
Owner's manual

Dell BSAFE Crypto-J is a software development toolkit that provides a comprehensive set of cryptographic functions for use in Java applications. It offers a wide range of capabilities, including:

  • Encryption and decryption of data using symmetric and asymmetric algorithms
  • Digital signatures and message authentication codes
  • Key generation and management
  • Random number generation
  • Hashing and message digests

Dell BSAFE Crypto-J is FIPS 140-2 validated, which means that it meets the U.S. government's standards for cryptographic modules. This makes it an ideal choice for applications that require a high level of security, such as financial transactions, healthcare records, and government communications.

Changes 3
RSA BSAFE Crypto-J 6.2.5 Release Notes
Changes
This release of Crypto-J is designed to include the following changes:
The default key size for key generation of asymmetric keys has been changed to
reflect the minimum key size recommended in FIPS 186-4. Where the
KeyPairGenerator has not previously been initialized with a key size, keys
will be generated with the new default key size. For:
The names of the jar files have been changed to reflect the release. For example:
cryptoj-6.2.5.jar.
Fixes for specific issues.

Changes added in release 6.2.4.0.1:
Changes added in release 6.2.4 include fixes for specific issues.
For more information, see Enhancements and Resolved Issues.
Changes added in release 6.2.4:
Changes added in release 6.2.4 include:
All JSAFE APIs are deprecated. The APIs are available for use, and will be
removed at some future time.
Fixes for specific issues.
For more information, see Enhancements and Resolved Issues.
Important: The National Institute for Standards and Technologies (NIST) has
published an Update to Current Use and Deprecation of TDEA, announcing
their intention to deprecate the 3-key variant of Triple-DES, and disallow it
for use in TLS and other protocols. NIST is developing a draft deprecation
timeline for the 3-key variant of TDEA including a sunset date, and
recommends migration to AES as soon as possible.
RSA recommends caution when using Triple-DES.

Related Products
The following related products are incorporated in this release of Crypto-J:
RSA BSAFE Crypto-C Micro Edition 4.1 (Crypto-C ME) to provide native
cryptography support.
RSA BSAFE Micro Edition Suite 4.1 (MES) to provide FIPS 140-2 native

FIPS 140-2 Operations 5
RSA BSAFE Crypto-J 6.2.5 Release Notes
FIPS 140-2 Operations
Federal Information Processing Standards Publication 140-2 - Security Requirements
for Cryptographic Modules (FIPS 140-2) details the United States Government
requirements for cryptographic modules. For more information about the FIPS 140-2
standard and validation program, see the FIPS 140-2 page on the NIST Web site at
https://csrc.nist.gov/projects/cryptographic-module-validation-
program/standards.
The FIPS 140-2 validated configurations of this release inherit their FIPS 140-2 status
from the RSA BSAFE Crypto-J JSAFE and JCE Software Module 6.2.5 (Crypto-J
JSAFE and JCE Software Module). For more information, see the RSA BSAFE
Crypto-J JSAFE and JCE Software Module Security Policy documents.
Note: FIPS 140-2 validation for the current release of the Crypto-J JSAFE
and JCE Software Module is in progress. When the validation process is
complete, the Security Policy documents might be updated and re-released, to
reflect the complete security requirements of FIPS 140-2 validation.
For the complete list of FIPS 140-2 tested and vendor affirmed operating
environments, and for detailed information about the Crypto-J JSAFE and JCE
Software Module and the secure operation of Crypto-J, see the RSA BSAFE Crypto-J
JSAFE and JCE Software Module Security Policy documents.
For details about the toolkit configuration and cryptographic implementation of
Crypto-J, see the “About the Crypto-J Toolkit” section of the RSA BSAFE Crypto-J
Installation Guide.
Note: As of February 2017, FIPS 140-2 module validations have a five year
life span from the date of the last validation. Unless modules are revalidated,
the validation expires and the module certificate is moved to the CMVP
Historical list.
Applications using modules from the CMVP Historical list are not
FIPS 140-2-compliant.
To confirm the validation state of a module, see the CMVP Validated Module page at
https://csrc.nist.gov/projects/cryptographic-module-validation-
program/validated-modules/search.
6 Operating Environment Information
RSA BSAFE Crypto-J 6.2.5 Release Notes
Operating Environment Information
Operating environment support for Crypto-J is separated into three categories:
Primary Operating Environments: Crypto-J is designed and tested to support these
operating environments at the time of release.
For information about FIPS validation and testing, see FIPS 140-2 Operations.
Secondary Operating Environments: these operating environments are not tested
with this release. These operating environments are expected to work, but support
is not guaranteed. If any issues are found, a specific request for investigation can
be made through RSA Customer Support.
Tested JDK Update Versions: lists the tested JDK update versions for the
supported primary platforms and operating systems.

Dell BSAFE Crypto-J Owner's manual

Type
Owner's manual

Dell BSAFE Crypto-J is a software development toolkit that provides a comprehensive set of cryptographic functions for use in Java applications. It offers a wide range of capabilities, including:

  • Encryption and decryption of data using symmetric and asymmetric algorithms
  • Digital signatures and message authentication codes
  • Key generation and management
  • Random number generation
  • Hashing and message digests

Dell BSAFE Crypto-J is FIPS 140-2 validated, which means that it meets the U.S. government's standards for cryptographic modules. This makes it an ideal choice for applications that require a high level of security, such as financial transactions, healthcare records, and government communications.
