Introduction to ps-locale-ar_IQ-14.0.1.2000-1.cop.sha512

The ​​ps-locale-ar_IQ-14.0.1.2000-1.cop.sha512​​ serves as the cryptographic integrity verification file for Cisco’s Arabic (Iraq) localization package within Unified Communications Manager (Unified CM) 14.x environments. This SHA-512 hash file ensures the authenticity of the corresponding locale package (ps-locale-ar_IQ-14.0.1.2000-1.cop) during distribution and installation.

Designed for Cisco Unified CM version 14.0.1.2000-1, this verification file contains a 512-bit secure hash that validates the Arabic language resources compliant with Iraq’s regional standards. The package supports right-to-left text rendering and locale-specific datetime/number formatting required for Middle Eastern deployments.

Key Features and Security Enhancements

  1. ​​FIPS 180-4 Compliant Verification​​
    Utilizes SHA-2 family hashing to meet U.S. federal security standards, generating a 64-byte fingerprint that detects single-bit file alterations. This prevents compromised localization files from affecting call processing systems.

  2. ​​Arabic Script Optimization​​
    Validates Unicode 14.0-compliant Arabic glyphs with Iraq-specific diacritical marks, including support for:

    • Administrative interface translations
    • Voicemail system prompts
    • Call detail record formatting

  3. ​​Compatibility with Cisco Security Architecture​​
    Integrates with Cisco’s signed software distribution model, requiring validation through Cisco Unified OS Administration portal before installation. The hash file works with Cisco’s FIPS 140-2 Level 1 validated cryptographic modules.

  4. ​​Regional Compliance Updates​​
    Resolves legacy issues in calendar display (Hijri/Gregorian synchronization) and currency formatting (Iraqi Dinar symbol placement) present in pre-14.x versions.
