Algorithms for securing the appliance

  • SSL/TLS

    See Supported cipher suites

  • Local user passwords:

    SHA-256 Hashing algorithm with 8 bit Salt and 1000 iterations are used to hash the password

  • One-time Password mechanism (for administrator password reset and Hewlett Packard Enterprise support)

    • S/KEY one-time password mechanism

  • Backup files:

    Backup files are encrypted with keys supplied by Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

    Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that you encrypt backup files with an encryption key that you generate to ensure confidentiality and the integrity of the backup file.

    Other passwords are encrypted using 128-bit Blowfish.

  • Support dumps:

    Encryption: 128-bit AES

    Hash: SHA-256

    The AES key is encrypted separately using 2,048-bit RSA.

  • Updates:

    Not encrypted; digitally signed using SHA-256 and 2,048-bit RSA

The following SSL cipher suites are enabled on the HPE OneView appliance web server. The cipher suites support the connection among the browser, other clients, and the appliance.
