Description
The BitLocker® Windows OS Loader loads the boot-critical driver and OS kernel image files. Please note that AES (Cert. #2197) is only used in the entropy source for the module. This particular instance of AES is labeled as non-compliant because it does not perform a power-up self-test. This cryptographic module also maintains FIPS 140-2 validation compliance (according to FIPS 140-2 PUB Implementation Guidance G.5) on Microsoft Windows 8, Microsoft Windows 8 Pro, and Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Datacenter.
