Introduction to cm-locale-ar_OM-14.0.1.3000-1.cop.sha512
The cm-locale-ar_OM-14.0.1.3000-1.cop.sha512 serves as the cryptographic integrity verification file for Cisco’s Arabic (Oman) localization package within Unified Communications Manager (Unified CM) 14.0.1.3000-1 deployments. This SHA-512 hash file ensures the authenticity of the corresponding “.cop” locale package during software distribution, validating Arabic-language interface elements compliant with Oman’s regional standards.
Designed for Middle Eastern enterprise deployments, the package supports right-to-left text rendering, Gregorian/Hijri calendar synchronization, and locale-specific number formatting required for telecommunications compliance in GCC countries. The verification file follows FIPS 180-4 standards to detect tampering during software updates.
Key Technical Enhancements
-
Regional Script Optimization
Validates UTF-8 encoded Arabic glyphs with Oman-specific diacritical marks, including support for:- Administrative interface translations
- Voicemail prompts with local dialect variations
- Currency formatting (Omani Rial symbol placement)
-
Security Compliance
Implements 512-bit SHA-2 hashing to meet NIST SP 800-131A requirements, detecting single-bit alterations in the 2.3GB locale package. Integrates with Cisco’s FIPS 140-2 Level 2 validated cryptographic modules for government-grade security. -
Performance Improvements
Reduces hash verification latency by 18% compared to SHA-256 implementations, achieving 1.7GB/s processing speeds on Cisco UCS C220 M6 servers. -
Protocol Compatibility
Supports TLS 1.3 encrypted software distribution workflows, requiring certificate-based authentication during hash validation to prevent MITM attacks.
