Module Name
Microsoft Kernel Mode Security Support Provider Interface (ksecdd.sys)
Historical Reason
RNG SP800-131A Revision 1 Transition
Caveat
When operated in FIPS mode with Code Integrity (ci.dll) validated to FIPS 140-2 under Cert. #890 operating in FIPS mode
Embodiment
Multi-chip standalone
Description
KSECDD.SYS runs as a kernel mode export driver, and provides cryptographic services, through their documented interfaces, to Windows Vista kernel components. It supports several cryptographic algorithms accessible via a FIPS function table request irp (I/O request packet).
Tested Configuration(s)
- Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate Edition (x64 version) (single-user mode)
- Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate Edition (x86 Version)
