The subset is below the top layer of functions normally called by application programs, but the subset may be called by application programs directly if they so choose. Functions that are being certified include Triple DES(KO 1,2,3 56/112/168), AES(128/192/256), SHS (SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512), HMAC, DSA (512-1024), and RSA (1024-8092). | ||
