This document is the non-proprietary FIPS 140-3 Security Policy for version kernel rocky8.20240923; libkcapi 1.2.0-2.el8 of the Rocky Linux 8 Kernel Cryptographic API module. It contains the security rules under which the module must operate and describes how this module meets the requirements as specified in FIPS PUB 140-3 (Federal Information Processing Standards Publication 140-3) for an overall Security Level 1 module. intact and including this notice. Other documentation is proprietary to their authors.
In preparing the Security Policy document, the laboratory formatted the vendor-supplied documentation for consolidation without altering the technical statements therein contained. The further refining of the Security Policy document was conducted iteratively throughout the conformance testing, wherein the Security Policy was submitted to the vendor, who would then edit, modify, and add technical contents. The vendor would also supply additional documentation, which the laboratory formatted into the existing Security Policy, and resubmitted to the vendor for their final editing.

Purpose and Use: The Rocky Linux 8 Kernel Cryptographic API (hereafter referred to as “the module”) provides a C language application program interface (API) for use by other (kernel space and user space) processes that require cryptographic functionality. The module operates on a generalpurpose computer as part of the Linux kernel. Its cryptographic functionality can be accessed using the Linux Kernel Crypto API. Module Type: Software Module Embodiment: MultiChipStand Cryptographic Boundary: The cryptographic boundary of the module is defined as the kernel binary and the kernel crypto object files, the libkcapi shared library, and the sha512hmac binary, which is used to verify the integrity of the software components. In addition, the cryptographic boundary contains the .hmac files which store the expected integrity values for each of the software components. Tested Operational Environment’s Physical Perimeter (TOEPP): The TOEPP of the module is defined as the general-purpose computer on which the module is installed. The PAA provided by the processor is located within the module’s physical perimeter and outside of the module’s cryptographic boundary. The cryptographic boundary and TOEPP are schematically represented in Figure 1. © 2025 Ctrl IQ, Inc., atsec information security.

Table 7: Security Function Implementations
For IPsec, the module offers the AES-GCM implementation and uses the context of Scenario 1 of FIPS 140-3 IG C.H. The mechanism for IV generation is compliant with RFC 4106. IVs generated using this mechanism may only be used in the context of AES GCM encryption within the IPsec protocol. The module does not implement IPsec. The module’s implementation of AES GCM is used together with an application that runs outside the module’s cryptographic boundary. This application must use RFC 7296 compliant IKEv2 to establish the shared secret SKEYSEED from which the AES-GCM encryption keys are derived. The design of the IPsec protocol implicitly ensures that the counter (the nonce_explicit part of the IV) does not exhaust the maximum number of possible values for a given session key. In the event the module’s power is lost and restored, the consuming application must ensure that a new key for use with the AES-GCM key encryption or decryption under this scenario shall be established. The module also provides a non-approved AES-GCM encryption service which accepts arbitrary external IVs from the operator. This service can be requested by invoking the crypto_aead_encrypt API function with an AES-GCM handle. When this is the case, the API will not set an approved service indicator, as described in this document.

The length of a single data unit encrypted or decrypted with AES-XTS shall not exceed 220 AES blocks, that is 16MB, of data per XTS instance. An XTS instance is defined in Section 4 of SP 800-38E. The XTS mode shall only be used for the cryptographic protection of data on storage devices. It shall not be used for other purposes, such as the encryption of data in transit. To meet the requirement stated in IG C.I, the module implements a check to ensure that the two AES keys used in AES XTS mode are not identical. As the module does not implement symmetric key generation, this check is performed when the keys are input by the operator. Key_1 and Key_2 shall be generated and/or established independently according to the rules for component symmetric keys from NIST SP 800-133r2, Section 6.3.
All supported modulus sizes for RSA signature verification have been CAVP tested.
The module does not establish SSPs using an approved key transport scheme (KTS). However, it does offer approved authenticated algorithms that can be used by an external operator/application as part of an approved KTS.
Digital signature generation using SHA-1 is non-approved and not allowed in approved services.
Table 8: Entropy Certificates Table 9: Entropy Sources The module implements three different Deterministic Random Bit Generator (DRBG) implementations based on SP 800-90Ar1: CTR_DRBG, Hash_DRBG, and HMAC_DRBG. Each of these DRBG implementations can be instantiated by the operator of the module. When instantiated, these DRBGs can be used to generate random numbers for external usage. Additionally, the module employs a specific HMAC-SHA2-512 DRBG implementation for internal purposes (e.g. to generate initialization vectors). This DRBG is initially seeded with
384 output bits from the entropy source (384 bits of entropy) and reseeded with 256 output

bits from the entropy source (256 bits of entropy). Outputs of multiple GetEntropy() calls are concatenated to receive the entropy input length greater than 256 bits. The output is truncated to get the entropy input string which is not a multiple of 256. E.g. The 384 bits of entropy source output is obtained by calling the GetEntropy() twice, with each call providing 256 bits of output. The second call output is truncated to 128 bits and concatenated to the 256 bit output from the first call. The module complies with the Public Use Document for ESV certificate E205 by reading entropy data from the jent_kcapi_random() function, which corresponds to the GetEntropy() conceptual interface. The operational environment on the ESV certificate is identical to the operating system described in this document. There are no maintenance requirements for the entropy source.
The module does not implement any key generation methods.
The module does not implement any automated key establishment methods.
AES-GCM with internal IV generation in the approved mode is compliant with RFC 4106 and shall only be used in conjunction with the IPsec protocol. No parts of this protocol, other than the AES-GCM implementation, have been tested by the CAVP and CMVP. © 2025 Ctrl IQ, Inc., atsec information security.

The module does not load external software or firmware. © 2025 Ctrl IQ, Inc., atsec information security.
On system boot, the sha512hmac binary and libkcapi library are first integrity tested using the HMAC-SHA2-512 and HMAC-SHA2-256 algorithms (respectively) implemented by the module. Then, the kernel binary is integrity tested using the HMAC-SHA2-512 algorithm. These tests are all performed using a key hardcoded in the sha512hmac binary, by recomputing the MAC tags and verifying they are equal to the MAC tags specified in the .hmac file. Finally, the kernel crypto object files are loaded on start-up by the kernel binary and verified using RSA signature verification with PKCS#1 v1.5 padding, SHA2-256, and a hardcoded 3072bit key. The signature is stored inside the kernel object file. If the signature verification fails, the integrity test is unsuccessful.
Integrity tests are performed as part of the pre-operational self-tests, which are executed when the module is initialized. The integrity tests can be invoked on demand by unloading and subsequently re-initializing the module (i.e., rebooting the system), which will perform (among others) the software integrity tests. © 2025 Ctrl IQ, Inc., atsec information security.
Type of Operational Environment: Modifiable How Requirements are Satisfied: The operating system provides process isolation and memory protection mechanisms that ensure appropriate separation for memory access among the processes on the system. Each process has control over its own data and uncontrolled access to the data of other processes is prevented.

Table 23: Error States In the error state, the output interface is inhibited, and the module accepts no more inputs or requests (as the module is no longer running).
All self-tests, except for the entropy source continuous health tests, can be invoked on demand by unloading and subsequently re-initializing the module. © 2025 Ctrl IQ, Inc., atsec information security.
The module is distributed as a part of the Rocky Linux 8 distribution, in the form of the kernel4.18.0-553.16.1.el8_6.ciqfips.0.5, libkcapi-1.2.0-2.el8, and libkcapi-hmaccalc-1.2.0-2.el8 RPM packages. The module can achieve FIPS validated configuration by:
After installation of the RPM packages, the Crypto Officer must execute the “cat /proc/sys/crypto/fips_name” command. The Crypto Officer must ensure that the proper name is listed in the output as follows: Rocky Linux 8 - Kernel Cryptographic API Then, the Crypto Officer must execute the “cat /proc/sys/crypto/fips_version” and “rpm -qa | grep kcapi” commands. These commands must output the following (one line per output): $ cat /proc/sys/crypto/fips_version rocky8.20240923 $ rpm -qa | grep kcapi libkcapi-hmaccalc-1.2.0-2.el8.x86_64 libkcapi-1.2.0-2.el8.x86_64

As the module does not persistently store SSPs, secure sanitization of the module consists of unloading the module. This will zeroize all SSPs in volatile memory. Then, if desired, the kernel4.18.0-553.16.1.el8_6.ciqfips.0.5, libkcapi-1.2.0-2.el8, and libkcapi-hmaccalc-1.2.0-2.el8 RPM packages can be uninstalled from the Rocky Linux 8 system. © 2025 Ctrl IQ, Inc., atsec information security.
