Description
The Microsoft Windows Cryptographic Primitives Library is a general purpose, software-based, cryptographic module. The primitive provider functionality is offered through one cryptographic module, BCRYPT.DLL (version 7.00.2883), subject to FIPS 140-2 validation. BCRYPT.DLL provides cryptographic services, through its documented interfaces, to Windows Embedded Compact 7 components and applications running on Windows Embedded Compact 7.
Tested Configuration(s)
- Windows Embedded Compact 7 (ARMv5) running on a Freescale i.MX27 Development Kit (single-user mode)
- Windows Embedded Compact 7 (ARMv6) running on a Samsung SMDK6410 Development Kit
- Windows Embedded Compact 7 (ARMv7) running on a TI OMAP TMDSEVM3530
- Windows Embedded Compact 7 (MIPS II FP) running on a Sigma Designs Vantage 8654 Development Kit
- Windows Embedded Compact 7 (MIPS II) running on a Sigma Designs Vantage 8654 Development Kit
Allowed Algorithms
MD5; NDRNG; RSA (key wrapping; key establishment methodology provides between 112 and 150 bits of encryption strength)
