Certificate #1000

Details

Module Name
Microsoft Windows Vista Kernel Mode Security Support Provider Interface (ksecdd.sys)
Standard
FIPS 140-2
Status
Historical
 Historical Reason
RNG SP800-131A Revision 1 Transition
Overall Level
1
Caveat
When operated in FIPS mode with Windows Vista OS Loader (winload.exe) validated to FIPS 140-2 under Cert. #979 operating in FIPS mode
Module Type
Software
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 SP1 (x64 version) (single-user mode)
  • Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate Edition SP1 (x86 Version)
Approved Algorithms
AES Certs. #739 and #756
ECDSA Cert. #82
HMAC Cert. #412
RNG Cert. #435 and SP 800-90 AES-CTR, vendor-affirmed
RSA Certs. #353 and #357
SHS Cert. #753
Triple-DES Cert. #656
Other Algorithms
AES (GCM and GMAC; non-compliant); DES; Diffie-Hellman (key agreement; key establishment methodology provides between 112 and 150 bits of encryption strength; non-compliant less than 112 bits of encryption strength); EC Diffie-Hellman (key agreement; key establishment methodology provides between 128 and 256 bits of encryption strength); MD2; MD4; MD5; HMAC MD5; RC2; RC4; RNG (SP 800-90 Dual-EC; non-compliant); RSA (key wrapping; key establishment methodology provides between 112 and 150 bits of encryption strength; non-compliant less than 112 bits of encryption strength)
