Typical Security Policies

A number of typical security policies designed to meet standards or satisfy application integration requirements are offered as a part of SafeNet ProtectToolkit-C. The following typical security policies are described in this section:

>PKCS #11 Compatibility Mode

>SafeNet Default Mode

>FIPS Mode

>Entrust Compliant Modes

>Netscape Compliant Mode and

>Restricted Mode

The ctconf command line utility is used to implement the policies by setting security flags. The specific commands for each are provided.

Security flags are discussed in detail in Security Flags.

For some policies, security flags may be available that alter security behavior without invalidating the policy. See Security Policy Options.

For the complete ctconf command reference, see CTCONF in Command Line Utilities Reference.
