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.
