Introduction to cm-locale-he_IL-14.0.1.3000-1.cop.sha512
The cm-locale-he_IL-14.0.1.3000-1.cop.sha512 serves as the cryptographic verification file for Cisco’s Hebrew (Israel) localization package in Unified Communications Manager (Unified CM) 14.0.1.3000-1 deployments. This SHA-512 hash ensures the integrity of the corresponding “.cop” locale package containing right-to-left text rendering, Gregorian/Hebrew calendar synchronization, and Israel-specific number formatting required for telecommunications compliance.
Designed for Middle Eastern enterprise networks, the package supports:
- Hebrew administrative interface translations
- Localized voicemail prompts with diacritical marks (e.g., ניקוד)
- ISO 8859-8-LI character encoding validation
First released in Q2 2025 as part of Cisco’s 14.x software lifecycle, this verification file meets NIST SP 800-131A standards for secure software distribution.
Technical Specifications & Security Features
-
FIPS 180-4 Cryptographic Compliance
The 512-bit hash algorithm detects single-byte alterations in the 2.8GB locale package, critical for GDPR-compliant UC deployments in Israel. Integrates with Cisco’s FIPS 140-2 Level 2 validated cryptographic modules. -
Right-to-Left Text Optimization
Validates UTF-8 encoded Hebrew glyphs including:- Proper ligature handling (e.g., צְדָקָה → צדקה)
- Bidirectional text wrapping in call detail records
- Israel-specific date formats (DD/MM/YYYY)
-
Enhanced Protocol Support
Works with TLS 1.3 encrypted software distribution workflows, requiring X.509 certificate authentication during hash validation. -
Performance Improvements
Achieves 1.9GB/s hash verification speeds on Cisco UCS C220 M6 servers – 23% faster than SHA-256 implementations.
