Type/Severity
Product Enhancement Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated libica packages that add one enhancement are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The libica library contains a set of functions and utilities for accessing the
IBM eServer Cryptographic Accelerator (ICA) hardware on IBM System z.
This update adds the following enhancement:
- The libica library has been modified to allow usage of new algorithms that
support the Message Security Assist Extension 4 instructions in the Central
Processor Assist for Cryptographic Function (CPACF) feature. For the DES and
3DES block ciphers, the new feature supports the following modes of operation:
- Cipher Block Chaining with Ciphertext Stealing (CBC-CS)
- Cipher-based Message Authentication Code (CMAC)
For the AES block cipher, this feature supports the following modes of
operation:
- Cipher Block Chaining with Ciphertext Stealing (CBC-CS)
- Counter with Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Code (CCM)
- Galois/Counter (GCM)
With this acceleration of complex cryptographic algorithms, performance of IBM
System z machines significantly improves. (BZ#738835)
All users of libica are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which add
this enhancement.
