Identify the two security features incorporated in the Oracle Solaris 11 Cryptographic Framework.

A.
Layer 5 IP address encryptions

B.
Internet protocol security

C.
Diffie-Kerberos coaxial key encryption

D.
Signed cryptographic plugins (providers)

E.
Kernel support for signed antivirus plugins

Explanation:
The framework enables providers of cryptographic services to have their services
used by many consumers in the Oracle Solaris operating system. Another name for providers is
plugins. The framework allows three types of plugins:
* User-level plugins-Shared objects that provide services by using PKCS #11 libraries, such as
pkcs11_softtoken.so.1.
* Kernel-level plugins-Kernel modules that provide implementations of cryptographic algorithms in
software, such as AES.
Many of the algorithms in the framework are optimized for x86 with the SSE2 instruction set and
for SPARC hardware.
* Hardware plugins-Device drivers and their associated hardware accelerators. The Niagara chips,
the ncp and n2cp device drivers, are one example. A hardware accelerator offloads expensive
cryptographic functions from the operating system. The Sun Crypto Accelerator 6000 board is one
example.
