Module Name
Windows 7 Enhanced DSS and Diffie-Hellman Cryptographic Provider (DSSENH)
Historical Reason
RNG SP800-131A Revision 1 Transition
Caveat
When operated in FIPS mode with Windows 7 Code Integrity (ci.dll) validated to FIPS 140-2 under Cert. #1327 operating in FIPS mode and Microsoft Windows 7 Kernel Mode Cryptographic Primitives Library (cng.sys) validated to FIPS 140-2 under Cert. #1328 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.
