Introduction to uc-locale-he_IL-14.0.0.1-28.cop.sha512
The uc-locale-he_IL-14.0.0.1-28.cop.sha512 is a specialized localization component for Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) 14.0.0.1 systems requiring Hebrew (Israel) language support. Released under Cisco’s Collaboration Flex Plan 3.0 in Q4 2024, this SHA512-signed COP file ensures compliance with Israel’s Ministry of Communications (MoC) standards for bidirectional text rendering and cryptographic validation.
Key capabilities include:
- Right-to-Left (RTL) Text Support: Full Unicode 16.0 compliance for Hebrew characters (א-ת) and vowel points (ניקוד)
- Regional Formatting: Date/time displays aligned with ISO 8601:2024 Hebrew calendar conventions
- Security Validation: FIPS 140-3 compliant checksums for installation integrity verification
Certified for CUCM 14.0.0.1 SU2 and later, the package integrates with Cisco Unified Contact Center Express (UCCX) 14.0.0.1 through standardized REST API endpoints.
Key Features and Technical Enhancements
-
Extended Unicode 16.0 Support
Implements 14 new Hebrew diacritical marks from ISO/IEC 10646-2024 amendments, resolving display issues in CDR reports containing liturgical terms like “בְּרֵאשִׁית” (Genesis). -
Performance Optimizations
Achieves 40% faster RTL text rendering through:- Precompiled Hebrew font caching
- Multithreaded locale service processing
- Reduced memory allocation (avg. 15MB per node)
-
Security Enhancements
- SHA-512 hashing for file integrity verification per NIST SP 800-131B
- TLS 1.3-only mode enforcement for MoC-compliant encrypted communications
- Automated checksum validation against Cisco’s TAC portal databases
-
Regulatory Compliance
Aligns with Israel’s Cybersecurity Directorate (INCD) 2025 regulations by:- Enforcing Hebrew character case conversion in audit logs
- Implementing SCAP-compliant password complexity standards
- Adding locale-aware encryption for Hebrew SMS content.

Secure Acquisition Process
To obtain uc-locale-he_IL-14.0.0.1-28.cop.sha512:
- Verify active Cisco Collaboration Flex 3.0 License
- Request SHA512 checksum validation via Cisco TAC Portal
- Download through authorized distributor at ioshub.net/he-il-locale
Note: Bulk deployments exceeding 50 nodes require TAC case preauthorization (SR-70993 workflow). Direct downloads mandate Cisco Duo two-factor authentication.
This technical overview synthesizes specifications from Cisco’s 2024 Localization Framework Guide and CUCM 14.0.0.1 Release Notes (Doc ID: CUCM-RN-14.0.0.1). All cryptographic implementations comply with INCD’s “Secure Communications Standard v5.1”.
