Windows 7 Enhanced Cryptographic Provider (RSAENH)

FIPS 140-2 certificate #1330 · Microsoft Corporation · data as of 2026-09-08

Windows 7 Enhanced Cryptographic Provider (RSAENH), from Microsoft Corporation, holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #1330 at overall level 1. The validation is historical: agencies may keep the module in existing systems but not buy it new. Below are its validation history, algorithm certificates and security policy, drawn from the NIST CMVP entry.

Historical. Moved to historical list due to sunsetting. Federal agencies may reference historical validations for existing systems only, not for new procurement.
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
