Module Name
Windows Vista Enhanced DSS and Diffie-Hellman Cryptographic Provider (DSSENH)
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. #980 operating in FIPS mode
Embodiment
Multi-chip standalone
Description
DSSENH encapsulates several different cryptographic algorithms in an easy-to-use cryptographic module accessible via the Microsoft CryptoAPI. Software developers dynamically link the Microsoft DSSENH module into their applications to provide FIPS 140-2 compliant cryptographic support.
Tested Configuration(s)
- Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate Edition SP1 (x64 version) (single-user mode)
