A client that I consult for is updating the infrastructure of an Application that utilizes PGP Data Encryption. This data has a requirements that all data encyrption algorithms follow FIPS 140-2 standards for compliancy.
For the legacy PGP encryption in use, the version of PGP that was used to generate the PGP keyshare was v6.5.3 (Network Associates was the Vendor at that time).
The Public/Private Keyshare generated at that time has the following specifics:
Key Type: DSA 1024 Bits
Algorithm: Diffie-Hellman/DSS 2048 Bits (1024) (Default Suggested by the PGP Software Install Program)
Generated: 2002-02-05
Version of PGP Software Key Was Generated: v6.5.3
File Extension of Generated Keyshare: .asc
My query is ... does this key meet FIPS 140.2 Software Standards? If Not, does a purchase and new keyshare generation of the current version of PGP Command Line S/W meet these standards?
Any additional website references to how the verify FIPS 140.2 compliancy of a PGP keyshare will be of great benefit to me.
Thanks;
