GNOME Crypto Ring (GCR) is a core library in the GNOME desktop environment. Built on libgcrypt, GCR can achieve FIPS 140-3 compliance using wolfSSL’s libgcrypt port.
wolfSSL’s libgcrypt port ensures compliance for FIPS 140-3 in applications consuming GCR, such as:
- Certificate and Key Viewing: The gcr-viewer tool allows inspection of cryptographic files like X.509 certificates and private keys, displaying details such as issuer, expiration, and signatures in a user-friendly interface.
- Cryptographic UI Components: GCR provides widgets and dialogs for GNOME applications, enabling secure prompts for PINs, passwords, or certificate verification in tools like email clients and browsers.
- Key Store Integration: GCR supports accessing key stores via PKCS#11 standards, facilitating interaction with hardware security modules or smart cards for secure key management.
- Parsing and Import/Export: GCR handles parsing of various cryptographic formats and importing/exporting certificates and keys, simplifying credential management.
