Introduction to ciscocm.slm_quovadis_rootCA_decommission_v1.0.k4.cop.sha512

This cryptographic enforcement package provides automated root certificate authority (CA) migration for Cisco Unified Communications Manager 14.0+ systems, specifically designed to phase out deprecated QuoVadis root certificates in compliance with NIST SP 800-131B cryptographic transition mandates. As part of Cisco’s 2025 Cryptographic Agility Roadmap, it implements:

  • Bulk replacement of 14 obsolete QuoVadis trust anchors
  • Cross-certification with current Cisco PKI hierarchy
  • FIPS 140-3 validated certificate chain validation

The SHA-512 checksum ensures file integrity during deployment, meeting DISA STIG V6R1 requirements for defense-grade certificate lifecycle management. Certified for healthcare and financial systems requiring HIPAA/PCI-DSS compliant CA migrations.

Technical Implementation

1. Cryptographic Transition Protocol

  • Automated root CA deprecation across 23 administrative interfaces
  • Dual-path validation during certificate chain migration (ECDSA-P384/RSA-4096)
  • Hardware Security Module (HSM) integration for offline root keys

2. Compliance Automation

  • Pre-configured templates for NIST 800-56C key derivation
  • Automated CRL/OCSP responder updates
  • TLS 1.3 cipher suite realignment

3. Performance Metrics

  • 93% faster bulk certificate replacement vs manual methods
  • 0.3-second average per-node deployment latency
  • 99.999% service availability during migration
