Synopsis

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory (none)

Topic

Updated opencryptoki packages that fix several bugs and add various enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The opencryptoki packages contain version 2.11 of the PKCS#11 API, implemented for IBM Cryptocards. This package includes support for the IBM 4758 Cryptographic CoProcessor (with the PKCS#11 firmware loaded), the IBM eServer Cryptographic Accelerator (FC 4960 on IBM eServer System p), the IBM Crypto Express2 (FC 0863 or FC 0870 on IBM System z), and the IBM CP Assist for Cryptographic Function (FC 3863 on IBM System z).

The opencryptoki package has been upgraded to upstream version 2.4.3.1, which, compared to the previous version, provides support for the SHA-2 hash algorithms in the ICA token and adds fixes for the SHA-2- based certificates in the CCA token. (BZ#948349)

Users of opencryptoki are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs and add these enhancements.
