SB FIPS Module also supports a NIST SP 800-56B Key Establishment technique (key wrapping), RSA OAEP. In order to operate the module in compliance with FIPS, only these FIPS Ap- proved or allowed algorithms should be used. The DES, DESX, 2-key TDES Encryption, AES CCM* (CCM Star) mode, ARC2, ARC4, MD5, MD4, MD2, HMAC-MD5, ECNR, ECQV, ECIES, and RSA #1 v1.5 Encryption algorithm are supported as non FIPS Approved algorithms. In order to operate the module in compliance with FIPS, these algorithms should not be used. Table 5 summarizes the keys and CSPs used in the FIPS mode.

The roles of Crypto Officer and User are implicitly selected by the operator. 15 5 Finite State Model The Finite State model contains the following states: ¯ Installed/Uninitialized ¯ Initialized ¯ Self-Test ¯ Idle ¯ Crypto Officer/User ¯ Error The following is the important features of the state transition: 1. When the module is installed by the Crypto Officer, the module is in the In- stalled/Uninitialized state. 2. When the initialization command is applied to the module, i.e., the module is loaded on the memory, turning to the Initialization state. Then, it transits to the Self-Test state automatically, running the Power-up Tests. While in the Self-Test state, all data output via the data output interface is prohibited. On success the module enters Idle; on failure the module enters Error and the module is dis- abled. From the Error state the Crypto Officer may need to re-install to attempt correction. 3. From the Idle state (which is only entered if self-tests have succeeded), the mod- ule can transit to the Crypto Officer/User state when an API function is called. 4. When the API function has completed successfully, the state transits back to Idle. 5. If the Conditional Test (Continuous RNG Test or Pair-wise Consistency Test) fails, the state transits to Error and the module is disabled. 6. When On-demand Self-test is executed, the module enters the Self-Test state. On success the module enters Idle; on failure the module enters Error and the module is disabled. 7. When the de-initialization command is executed, the module goes back to the Installed/Uninitialized state. 16 6 Physical Security Physical security is not applicable to this software module at Level 1 Security. 17 7 Operational Environment This module is designed for commercially available general purpose computer operat- ing systems such as UNIX, Linux, Windows, or QNX. These operating systems provide modifiable environment. This module is to be run in single user operational environment, where each user application runs in virtually separated independent space. Note that modern Operating Systems such as UNIX, Linux, and Windows provide such operational environment. 18 8 Cryptographic Key Management SB FIPS Module provides the underlying functions to support FIPS 140-2 Level 1 key management. The user will select FIPS Approved algorithms and will handle keys with appropriate care to build up a system that complies with FIPS 140-2. It is the Crypto Officer and User’s responsibility to select FIPS 140-2 validated algorithms (see Table 4). 8.1 Key Generation SB FIPS Module provides FIPS 140-2 compliant key generation. The underlying ran- dom number generation uses a FIPS Approved method, DRBG (Hash, HMAC, Cipher and Dual-EC, ANSI X9.62 RNG (SHA-1), or ANSI X9.31 RNG (AES-128, 192, and 256). 8.2 Key Establishment SB FIPS Module provides the following FIPS Approved or allowed key establishment techniques [5]: 1. Diffie-Hellman (DH) 2. EC Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) 3. ECMQV 4. RSA PKCS1 v1.5 5. RSA OAEP The ECDH and ECMQV key agreement technique implementations support elliptic curve sizes from 163 bits to 521 bits that provides between 80 and 256 bits of security strength. The DH key agreement technique implementation supports modulus sizes from 512 bits to 15360 bits that provides between 56 and 256 bits of security strength, where 1024 bits and above must be used to provide minimum of 80 bits of security in the FIPS mode. The RSA PKCS v1.5 and OAEP key wrapping implementations support modulus sizes from 512 to 15360 bits that provides between 56 bits and 256 bits of security, where 1024 bits and above must be used to provide minimum of 80 bits of security in the FIPS mode. It is responsibility of the application to ensure that the appropriate key establish- ment techniques are applied to the appropriate keys. 8.3 Key Entry and Output Keys must be imported or exported from the cryptographic boundary in encrypted form using a FIPS Approved algorithm. 19 8.4 Key Storage SB FIPS Module is a low-level cryptographic toolkit, and as such does not provide key storage. 8.5 Zeroization of Keys SB FIPS Module provides zeroizable interfaces which implement zeroization functions (see Table 3). Zeroization of keys and CSPs must be performed by calling the destroy functions of the objects when no longer needed; otherwise SB FIPS Module will not be functional. 20 9 Self-Tests 9.1 Power-up Tests 9.1.1 Tests upon Power-up Self-tests are initiated automatically by the module at start-up. The following tests are applied: 1. Known Answer Tests (KATs): KATs are performed on TDES, AES, AES GCM, SHS (via HMAC-SHS), HMAC- SHS, DRBG, ANSI X9.62 RNG, ANSI X9.31 RNG, RSA Signature Algorithm, and KDF. For DSA and ECDSA, Pair-wise Consistency Test is used. For DH, ECDH, ECMQV, the underlying arithmetic implementations are tested via DSA and ECDSA tests. 2. Software Integrity Test: The software integrity test deploys ECDSA signature validation to verify the integrity of the module. 9.1.2 On-Demand Self-Tests On-demand self tests may be invoked by the Cryptographic Officer or User by invoking a function, which is described in the Crypto Officer And User Guide in Appendix A. 9.2 Conditional Tests The Continuous RNG Test is executed on all RNG generated data, examining the first 160 bits of each requested random generation for repetition. This ensures that the RNG is not stuck at any constant value. Also, upon each generation of a DSA, ECDSA, or RSA key pair, the generated key pair is tested of their correctness by generating a signature and verifying the signature on a given message as a Pair-wise Consistency Test. Upon generation or reception of DH, ECDH, or ECMQV key pair, the full key validation is performed upon reception, and SP 800-56A conformant computation is performed upon key generation. 9.3 Failure of Self-Tests Failure of the Self-tests places the cryptographic module in the Error state, wherein no cryptographic operations can be performed. If any Self-test fails, the cryptographic module will output error code, and goes into the Error state. 21 10 Design Assurance 10.1 Configuration Management A configuration management system for the cryptographic module is employed and has been described in a document to the testing laboratory. It uses the Concurrent Versioning System (CVS) or Subversion (SVN) to track the configurations. 10.2 Delivery and Operation Please refer to Section A.1 of Crypto Officer And User Guide in Appendix A to review the steps necessary for the secure installation and initialization of the cryptographic module. 10.3 Development Detailed design information and procedures have been described in documentation sub- mitted to the testing laboratory. The source code is fully annotated with comments, and is also submitted to the testing laboratory. 10.4 Guidance Documents Crypto Officer Guide And User Guide is provided in Appendix A. This appendix outlines the operations for Crypto Officer and User to ensure the security of the module. 22 11 Mitigation of Other Attacks SB FIPS Module implements mitigation of the following attacks: 1. Timing Attack on RSA 2. Attack on biased private key of DSA 11.1 Timing Attack on RSA When employing Montgomery computations, timing effects allow an attacker to tell when the base of exponentiation is near the secret modulus. This leaks information concerning the secret modulus. In order to mitigate this attack, the following is executed: The bases of exponenti- ation are randomized by a novel technique that requires no inversion to remove (unlike other blinding methods e.g. BSAFE Crypto-C User Manual v 4.2). Note that Remote Timing Attacks are practical: http://crypto.stanford.edu/ dabo/papers/ssl-timing.pdf 11.2 Attack on Biased Private Key of DSA The standards for choosing ephemeral values in El-Gamal type signatures introduce a slight bias. Means to exploit these biases were presented to ANSI by D. Bleichen- bacher. In order to mitigate this attack, the following is executed: The bias in the RNG is reduced to levels which are far below the Bleichenbacher attack threshold. Change Notice 1 of FIPS 186-2 is published to mitigate this attack: http://csrc.nist.gov/CryptoToolkit/tkdigsigs.html 23 A Crypto Officer And User Guide A.1 Installation In order to carry out a secure installation of SB FIPS Module, the Crypto Officer must follow the procedure described in this section. A.1.1 Installing The Crypto Officer is responsible for the installation of SB FIPS Module. Only the Crypto Officer is allowed to install the product. Place the shared object, libsbgse56.so.0.0 in an appropriate location on the computer hardware for your development environment. A.1.2 Uninstalling Remove the shared object, libsbgse56.so.0.0 from the computer hardware. A.2 Commands A.2.1 Initialization sbg56 FIPS140Initialize() This function runs a series of self-tests on the module. These tests examine the integrity of the shared object, and the correct operation of the cryptographic algorithms. If these tests are successful, a value of SB SUCCESS will be returned and the module will be enabled. A.2.2 De-initialization sbg56 FIPS140Deinitialize() This function de-initializes the module. A.2.3 Self-Tests sbg56 FIPS140RunTest() This function runs a series of self-tests, and return SB SUCCESS if the tests are successful. These tests examine the integrity of the shared object, and the correct op- eration of the cryptographic algorithms. If these tests fail, the module will be disabled. Section A.3 of this document describes how to recover from the disabled state. A.2.4 Show Status sbg56 FIPS140GetState() This function will return the current state of the module. 24 A.3 When Module is Disabled When SB FIPS Module becomes disabled, attempt to bring the module back to the Installed state by calling sbg56 FIPS140Deinitialize(), and then to initialize the module using sbg56 FIPS140Initialize(). If the initialization is success- ful, the module is recovered. If this attempt fails, uninstall the module and re-install it. If the module is initialized successfully by this re-installation, the recovery is suc- cessful. If this recovery attempt fails, it indicates a fatal error.
