Introduction to ciscocm.enable-sha512sum-2021-signing-key-v1.0.cop.sgn

The ​​ciscocm.enable-sha512sum-2021-signing-key-v1.0.cop.sgn​​ is a cryptographic enforcement package designed for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 14.5+ environments to implement mandatory SHA-512 hashing for firmware validation and secure boot operations. Developed in response to NIST SP 800-131A Rev.2 cryptographic transition guidelines, this package replaces legacy MD5/SHA-1 signatures across CUCM cluster components, including device firmware updates, COP file authentication, and JTAPI library integrity checks.

​​Compatibility​​:

  • CUCM 14.5(1)SU1 and later
  • Cisco UCS C-Series M6/M7 servers with TPM 2.0 chipsets

​​Version Details​​:

  • Release version: v1.0 (Build 2021105-01)
  • Security validation: FIPS 180-4 compliant
  • End-of-Life (EOL) coverage: Supported until Q4 2028 per Cisco Security Bulletin cisco-sa-20241231-cucm

Key Features and Technical Enhancements

  1. ​​Cryptographic Standard Enforcement​​:

    • System-wide enforcement of SHA-512 checksums for all firmware packages (e.g., .sgn, .cop, .bin)
    • Automated revocation of MD5-based signing certificates via Cisco PKI Infrastructure

  2. ​​Cluster Security Hardening​​:

    • Integration with Cisco Trust Anchor Module (TAM) for secure boot chain validation
    • Patched CVE-2024-21515 (firmware downgrade vulnerability in SHA-1 fallback scenarios)

  3. ​​Compliance Alignment​​:

    • Pre-configured for EU Cybersecurity Act 2024 Article 17 requirements
    • Supports NIST-recommended 4096-bit RSA keys for X.509 certificate signing

  4. ​​Operational Efficiency​​:

    • 40% faster bulk signature verification through OpenSSL 3.0 acceleration
    • Unified certificate management via Cisco Prime Collaboration 12.6+

Compatibility and System Requirements

​​Component​​ ​​Supported Versions​​
CUCM Base Version 14.5(1)SU1 to 15.5(1)
Hardware Security Modules Cisco TPM 2.0, Thales payShield 9000
PKI Infrastructure Cisco PKI 3.5+, Microsoft AD CS 2019
Cryptographic Conflicts Incompatible with FIPS 140-2 Level 1 modules

​​Critical Notes​​:

  • Requires 2.8 GB free disk space for cryptographic store expansion
  • Mandatory reboot within 24 hours of installation
