1. Introduction to ps-locale-ar_MA-14.0.1.2000-1.cop.sha512
The ps-locale-ar_MA-14.0.1.2000-1.cop.sha512 is a critical localization component for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 14.0.1+ deployments in Morocco and North African French-Arabic bilingual regions. This SHA512-signed COP file implements Morocco’s ANRT (National Telecommunications Regulatory Agency) 2024-12 compliance requirements for right-to-left (RTL) text rendering, emergency service localization, and Hijri/Gregorian calendar synchronization in collaboration systems.
Certified for use with Cisco Emergency Responder 14.1+, the package supports Maghrebi Arabic dialect characters (ݣ/ڭ) in CUCM directories and integrates with Moroccan PSTN emergency routing protocols. It aligns with Unicode 15.0 Arabic Extended-C specifications for telecom infrastructure.
2. Key Features and Improvements
Core Functionality:
- Diacritical Support: Full Tashkil mark handling for Quranic text display in emergency alert systems
- Security Compliance: FIPS 140-3 validated SHA-512 hashing with ECDSA-384 signatures
- Protocol Updates: Supports Morocco’s 112/190 emergency number routing through SIP-TLS 1.3
Technical Enhancements:
- 40% reduction in RTL text rendering latency compared to v13.x packages
- Fixed buffer overflow vulnerabilities in bidirectional text modules (CVE-2025-3148)
- Optimized emergency callback sequence validation for Casablanca/Rabat PSAPs
