CKM applications are shipped with the following algorithms:
P2 Algorithm – P2 is TecSec, Incorporated’s patented high performance cryptographic algorithm.
Data Encryption Standard (DES) Algorithm – The Data Encryption Standard Algorithm, frequently referred to as DES, is widely used within government and financial organizations.
Triple-DES (DES3 or 3DES) – In general terms, the 3DES algorithm improves on the standard DES protection by encoding information three times with as many as three different keys.
TecSec’s Identity Algorithm – The CKM Admin Tool is also shipped with TecSec’s Identity algorithm. The Identity algorithm does not actually encrypt data but is used for debugging applications.
RSA PKCS – The RSA algorithm is an asymmetric algorithm used for encryption and signing. PKCS refers to the padding type applied to the data. This algorithm must be supplied if PKI interoperability is required.
