Introduction to uc-locale-pt_PT-14.0.0.1-42.cop.sha512

The ​​uc-locale-pt_PT-14.0.0.1-42.cop.sha512​​ serves as the cryptographic verification file for Cisco’s Portuguese (Portugal) language pack within Unified Communications Manager (Unified CM) release 14.x environments. This SHA-512 hash file ensures the integrity of the corresponding locale package (uc-locale-pt_PT-14.0.0.1-42.cop) during software distribution and installation.

Designed for Cisco Unified CM version 14.0.0.1-42, this file contains a 512-bit secure hash algorithm (SHA-2 family) checksum that validates the authenticity of the Portuguese localization components. The embedded hash follows FIPS 180-2 standards, providing collision-resistant verification for enterprise-grade security compliance.

Key Features and Security Enhancements

  1. ​​FIPS-Validated Integrity Checking​​
    The SHA-512 algorithm generates a 64-byte (512-bit) hash that meets Federal Information Processing Standards 180-2 requirements. This ensures military-grade protection against unauthorized file modifications.

  2. ​​Compatibility with Cisco Security Frameworks​​
    Aligns with Cisco’s encryption standards for configuration files and certificates, supporting 384/512-bit hashing for secure credential storage. The hash verification process prevents tampering during software updates.

  3. ​​Localization Package Validation​​
    Specifically validates the European Portuguese language resources for:

    • Unified CM administration interfaces
    • End-user portal translations
    • System-generated notifications

  4. ​​Optimized for Large File Verification​​
    SHA-512’s 128-byte block size efficiently handles multi-gigabyte localization packages while maintaining verification speed.

Compatibility Requirements

Component Supported Versions Notes
Cisco Unified CM 14.0(0.1-42) Requires SU4 or later
Server Architecture x86-64 Cisco-approved UCS hardware
Security Mode FIPS 140-2 Level 1 Mandatory for government deployments
Hash Validation Tools OpenSSL 1.1.1+, Go 1.20+ Cross-platform verification support

The file requires Cisco Unified OS 14.x with active software download privileges. Incompatible with:

  • Third-party hash generators lacking FIPS validation
  • Pre-14.x Unified CM deployments
  • Non-Portuguese locale configurations

Secure Download Verification Process

To validate the localization package:

  1. Download both uc-locale-pt_PT-14.0.0.1-42.cop and its .sha512 file
  2. Generate SHA-512 checksum using FIPS-approved tools: 
    bash复制
    openssl dgst -sha512 uc-locale-pt_PT-14.0.0.1-42.cop
  3. Compare with the provided hash value

This dual-file verification method ensures the locale package remains unaltered from Cisco’s secure build environment.
